Constantin Pierrot, International BBA student
Libba-roso.jpge The story of Constantin Pierrot, a 2nd year International BBA student at GEM (formerly BIB), is a perfect illustration of the spirit of initiative and determination that the business school cultivates in its students, right from post-baccalaureate level. Constantin completed an internship in Geneva, a major financial center, in his first year of his Bachelor's degree. For his end-of-second-year project, his objective was to find an assignment in Singapore or Hong Kong, using the skills he had acquired at GEM, in particular the art of networking taught from the start of the program.
A goal accomplished thanks to the GEM alumni network. GEM's alumni database (46,700 graduates, representing multiple opportunities for strategic international exchanges) was an indispensable resource for her professional project. By presenting his application using an original approach (CV in video format), Constantin was able to make the difference.
As a result, at just 19, he landed an internship in Hong Kong with Expando, a startup run by GEM alumnus Xavier Roso.

This professional experience gave Constantin the unique opportunity to represent Hong Kong at Viva Tech 2024 in Paris, the international trade fair for technological innovation, where he rubbed shoulders with Hong Kong's Secretary General of Finance and Secretary General of Innovation, and attended other conferences with influential figures such as Bernard Arnault, the Williams Sisters and Elon Musk (remote). These meetings were concrete opportunities to connect with world leaders.
"GEM's Bachelor's degree, as an international business program, enabled me to obtain three highly professional internships (my next stop being Norway in August) which will make a difference on my CV when I get my first job on graduation. I owe this to GEM's international positioning and alumni network, but also to its student experience, which I take full advantage of when I'm on the Grenoble campus. For example, I met a four-star army general as a guest speaker at a geopolitical symposium, and Jean-Charles Decaux as a guest speaker at a conference organized by GEM en Débat (GEM's student forum). After following his call to all students to contact him when he came, he gave me his business card, and since then we've been in regular contact - a real plus for my career!" Constantin Pierrot is delighted.
