Flore M. - Founder of "SUCH"

MINI PORTRAIT

Originally from Quimperlé in Brittany, I started my engineering studies in Nantes. At Centrale Nantes, I followed the Computer Science and Entrepreneurship options and was heavily involved in school associations: Junior Entreprise, Arts Association, Handball, Creadanse, Eipros etc. I pursued my studies at Imperial College London with an MSc. Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation. Subsequently I trained in acting in Paris combined with an Msc. in Economics and Law in the audiovisual sector, at the Sorbonne and INA.

AND WHAT ABOUT ECO-RESPONSIBILITY?

Social rather than environmental responsibility. SUCH's philosophy is to bring the human dimension back into the company and to boost employee engagement through the opportunities that their company offers through SUCH.

WHAT ARE YOUR SHORT- AND MEDIUM- TERM GOALS?

In the medium term, SUCH will continue to support its clients in design thinking and experimential design and will diversify through the production of live art shows and films.

WHAT ASPECT OF YOUR TRAINING BEST PREPARED YOU FOR YOUR CURRENT ROLE?

Analysis and overview! What counts is the ability to understand and adapt quickly - a key characteristic of engineering studies. In addition, Centrale Nantes is a real calling card and a guarantee of credibility. I offer services learned elsewhere than at Centrale, but I involve different professions, including technical ones, and my customers welcome this added value. And finally, the Centralien network in every city.

WHAT DID YOU LIKE AT CENTRALE NANTES?

Coming from a family of healthcare professionals, I was unfamiliar with the world of business and commerce. I discovered it thanks to the Junior Entreprise Association and by through involvement in professional events. When I met these professionals outside jobs/internships, I understood that they were like everyone else and that it was enough to remain oneself to spark their interest.

ADVICE FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Ask questions, stay humble and curious. Don't worry if you're lost. That's natural. After Centrale, you can do anything and discover the different careers little by little, whatever the curriculum or school chosen. Take the time to discover what you are passionate about and then, as a matter of course, you will find or invent your career! Everything is possible. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.
