On Thursday, November 5, 2026, the annual IÉSEG Alumni Forever evening hosted the very first IÉSEG Alumni Awards ceremony at the Parc des Princes in Paris. With 670 people registered, the event celebrated the reunions, the strength of the community and the talents of our network. Discover the three winners of this first edition!Launched to celebrate the milestone of 20,000 alumni, this initiative shines a spotlight on graduates who embody the network’s excellence, boldness, and commitment. Three remarkable career paths were honored in the IÉSEG of the Year, Rising Star, and Changemaker categories.Sylvie Corrigou - IÉSEG of the Year 2026IÉSEG graduate - class 1998, Sylvie Corrigou, Managing Director of Electro Dépôt France, is being recognized for her leadership career, combining international development, organizational transformation and people-focused leadership. After launching Decathlon in Chile, among other achievements, she continues to put trust and teamwork at the heart of her work. Beyond her professional career, Sylvie has maintained close ties with her classmates: even today, her closest friends are still those she met at IÉSEG.Her advice to younger generations? “Trust your intuition, stay true to yourself, and don’t wait until you’re 100% ready to take the plunge.” Maëlle Struillou - Rising Talent 2026Graduated in 2020, Maëlle Struillou exemplifies rapid, decidedly international career progression. After London and Madrid, she continued her career at BlackRock  in Paris, where she serves as Head of Marketing for France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Monaco. Beyond her responsibilities, she hopes to help make financial education more accessible, particularly to young people and women. Her journey remains deeply shaped by her experience at IÉSEG: “Looking back, I realize that IÉSEG gave me much more than a degree: interpersonal skills, an open mind, and a network that continues to thrive and grow over the years and across cities.”Julien Derville - Changemaker  2026Graduated in 2016 and founder of Ekip, Julien Derville is turning meal vouchers into a way to encourage more sustainable eating and support socially responsible businesses. He champions entrepreneurship that combines innovation with positive impact.His driving force? A “realistic optimism,” which he describes as follows: “Not to turn a blind eye to problems, but to show that solutions exist and inspire others to take action.” A conviction that fully embodies the spirit of this award.A ceremony that reflects the networkHosted by Justine Lasselin, a 2015 graduate, the ceremony kicked off the evening in a warm, engaging atmosphere, with a Wooclap quiz that got the audience involved.The awards were given by Caroline Roussel, CEO of IÉSEG, Vincent Dubois, President of the IÉSEG Foundation and a 1997 graduate, and Thibaut Ringô, President of IÉSEG Network and a 2007 graduate.Each award winner received a trophy, a voucher for a certificate program at IÉSEG, and a gourmet hamper from the Fédération Française de l’Apéro, a company founded by alumnus Quentin Chapuis.We would also like to congratulate Thibaut de la Grand’Rive, Alice Jolivalt, Marie-Christine Kameni, Raphaël Loridan, Marie-Line Eyermann, and Amélie Flament: although they did not take home a trophy this year, their journeys, boldness, and commitment are a great source of pride for our IÉSEG community!
