Alumni Talk, Keynote by Mathieu Sidokpohou
''You Got This": Steering Performance Under Pressure
What an incredible evening at la Maison des ESSEC!
On April 23rd, the room was packed for an inspiring talk by Mathieu Sidokpohou (E98, Adidas Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Board Member), arranged by the ESSEC Sport Chair and the student association Ectar. The atmosphere was great, and the number of questions from the audience proved just how much Mathieu’s journey resonates with the next generation of leaders.
The ESSEC Sports Chair trains future leaders in sports business and provides them with an understanding of sport as a complex global industry with multiple stakeholders, and of current trends such as new funding models, digital, and e-sports. The Chair also develops future leaders across different industries through “lessons learned” from sport, ranging from the development of individual strengths and values to the effective leadership of groups and teams. Its aim is to become a think tank on the subject of sports management, to create a research community, and produce high-level academic and applied research.
We are available for all information about the chair and its activities.
