The Sports' chair kickoff took place last January 15th on the Cergy campus. It was a privilege to host Romain LACHENS as our guest speaker on his 2024 Paris Olympic games experience. On January 16th, the students started working on their cases studies in Paris at Oliver Wyman's headquarters (case studies' launch), with Germain TERREAUX, the chairs' Honorary Advisor Partner at Oliver Wyman. The chairs' partners were also introduced to the cohort.
Last week, the ESSEC Sports Chair had the incredible opportunity to step inside the Adidas Paris office.
What stood out most was the sheer diversity of career paths presented by the team. From marketing to communication, retail to strategy, the staff showed our students that there isn't just one way to work in sports—there are many.
The feedback from the students? They loved it.

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.
