🎯 STRATEGIC THINKING 🎯

Last week, in his "F&B Tourism" course, Professor Philip Ruskin invited Jane Bertch - founder of La Cuisine Paris.

🍽️ After a career in banking, this American from Chicago arrived in Paris and decided to start her own business. She settled in Le Marais and surrounded herself with French chefs who would teach classes on the classics of French cuisine and pastry for foreign tourists.

🧠 After a presentation of the company, its strategies and assets, the founder asked the students to think about growth opportunities for La Cuisine Paris. A time of gourmet and strategic exchange!

🍫 Did you know? F&B Tourism courses are sponsored by VALRHONA. A box of chocolate is offered to students at the beginning of each course!

🎤 INDUSTRY LEADER CONFERENCE 🎤

With a new format, this year's Industry Leader Conference (ILC) was inaugurated in style by Manuel Heurteux, the head of the food and beverage (F&B) concentration at ESSEC Hospitality Management IMHI. Aligning the conference to the concentration, the event brings practical learning and relevance to the IMHI students.

For this edition of the event, we had the pleasure of hosting Guillaume Radius, the Hospitality & Leisure Director at Club Med. Responsible for F&B planning and operations, Guillaume gave an insight to the students about the journey of F&B businesses through covid and the recovery path they currently are on. Highlighting key challenges that face the industry today, Manuel and Guillaume also spoke about the keys to success for a business in a time like today.

"A key to success for any business today is a change in mindset. Instead of focusing on challenges, Club Med revised its approach to look at them as key opportunities". Necessity is the mother of invention and in line with this, Guillaume spoke to students about how Club Med has turned to innovation to not only overcome today's challenges but also improve customer experience.

We would like to thank Manuel and Guillaume for an insightful session and an amazing start to the ILC format. Thank you to IMHI Traiteur for the delicious food and to the students for their active participation. Do let us know how your experience was at the event in the comments below. As a reminder, participation in the ILC is open to alumni this year, feel free to get in touch with us for further details AAIMHI ESSEC Hospitality Alumni.

👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 Welcome to the Family 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦

As both promotions of the ESSEC Hospitality Management IMHI program kicked off their study year, the Student Association (BDE) IMHIrates organised a family dinner at the famous Bouillon République.

Keeping true to the IMHI tradition, each year, a "couple" from the second year adopts their "kid" from the first year to complete their "family". The "parents" are therefore not only the mentor and guide for the "kids" but also a friend and confidant helping the first year students find their own feet at their new school!

Helping students with their integration into the program, answering their questions and making life fun and comfortable is the goal of this exercise at the ESSEC Hospitality Management IMHI program. Thank you to IMHIrates for such a lovely event! We look forward to being at your next event!

From everything that we learned to the brilliant people we have met, this first experience in finance marked a defining chapter in our careers.

The variety of our missions allowed us to understand the overall organization of the financial department. We had a real opportunity to use and develop our knowledge in a professional framework.

The skills, ideas and professionalism we are now armed with are thanks, in part, to Caroline CAUDRON, Income Auditor, Patricia LAU, Cost Controller, Gulsah Cam and Alain Appere, Accountants.

"I am extremely grateful to be able to do my internship abroad and especially in the city of Amsterdam. I discovered the rich Dutch culture but also the cosmopolitan nature of the city represented by the diversity of employees working at the hotel.

Zoku's concept has allowed me to truly meet all types of people and make real connections, whether they are residents, members or locals and I cannot wait for the one in Paris to open !

The position as a Duty Manager has deepened my understanding of hotel operations but also given me a real opportunity to lead the operation team. You have to be able to face any situation and make the right decisions to maintain the best guest service while challenging your team.

Being in the center of operations has taught me to better communicate, prioritize and delegate - improved skills that I will be committed to using throughout my career. "

👔 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN INTERNSHIP STUDENT 👔

Our students following the internship track have been in position for nearly 4 months. They have chosen to join multinationals or small companies, operational or financial departments, in France or abroad.

Today, Antoine Sitz tells us about his experience as an Assistant General Manager in the mythical Parisian hotel, The Peninsula Paris.

"I have had the chance to find this internship within the executive office at The Peninsula Paris and I am not disappointed at all. Being part of this department allows me to work closely with the GM on a daily basis.

Not one day feels the same. Working with such important people is very beneficial and brings me a lot of new perspectives that, as a student, you don't necessarily see or heard of.

My tasks are very different from one day to another... One day I might be working closely with the head of housekeeping and the day after I will be participating to the creation of our CAPEX 2023. This is what I love about this job... the versatility of it.

After 4 months, I can say that I have worked with every department of the hotel and had the chance to lead projects that will still be in use long after I am gone. "

Congratulations Antoine ! ✨

👔 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN APPRENTICE STUDENT 👔

IMHI's program can be taken as an internship or an apprenticeship. This week, we highlight the apprenticeship track by taking you into the life of our students at work.

Julie Schnieringer graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Vatel. When she joined ESSEC Hospitality Management IMHI, she chose the apprenticeship track for a more practical and relevant working experience, she says. Currently working at Airelles as a Marketing & Operations coordinator, she divides her weeks between the head office in Paris and Airelles Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle Hotel. Here is her typical day in a few words :

"My role is to support the Marketing & Operations teams on cross-functional projects, and in fact no two days are alike. I organize my day according to the urgency of the tasks.

In the morning, I start by answering emails since I constantly exchange with the different departments and properties. Then, I plan my day according to it. I carry out the priority tasks such as updating our app, planning shoots, creating content for the social networks, creating marketing materials...

In the afternoon, I focus on the field when I'm in Versailles, directly making content on the ground of the hotel (photos, videos). Then, there is a touch-up and editing process. At the head office, I use this time to work on long-term projects such as the implementation of new standards, competitive analysis...

What is enjoyable is the autonomy and the uniqueness of each day, but this requires a rigorous organization. "
