Isabelle Huault reappointed as Head of emlyon business school for a Second Term

Presided over by Guillaume Pepy, the Supervisory Board warmly praised the results of her actions, marked by:

• Strengthening its academic excellence and integration into the higher education and research ecosystem;

• Pedagogical hybridization in France and abroad;

• A strong and concrete social and environmental commitment as reflected in its status as a Mission-driven company;

• A solid grounding in the socio-economic world, closely connected to businesses and alumni;

• A positive trend in French and international rankings.

Thanks to the continuous support and commitment of its shareholders (CCI Lyon Métropole-Saint-Etienne-Roanne, Galileo Global Education, and bioMérieux), enabling emlyon to shine and to be today recognized as the 11th best business school in Europe, the School now has the human and financial resources for its development.

Guillaume Pepy stated: “We are convinced that Isabelle Huault possesses all the necessary qualities for the development of emlyon business school, particularly to address three strategic challenges: the continuous improvement of the student experience, the strengthening of technology in pedagogy and research, and internationalization in a new geopolitical context. Her new mandate ensures a coherent and sustainable strategy to cultivate the School's excellence and uniqueness.”

Isabelle Huault emphasized: “I am honored to continue my mission at emlyon and I approach this new mandate with energy, humility, and great confidence in the community that supports the School: its shareholders, its students, its Faculty, its teams, its alumni, its partners, and its donors who make emlyon a leading School. Aware of the global challenges at hand (the use of AI in teaching and research, climate change and environmental issues, new socio-economic needs, and those of businesses...), I have great ambitions for the School, matching its potential, to position it as an essential actor of French soft power.”
