Meet Kim - May 2026.
1) What memories do you keep from your years at Solvay Schools?
K : The Executive Master in Sustainable Transformation of Business was much more than a degree: it was a year of profound transformation. The program gave me the tools to understand the new ESG regulations and CSRD reporting obligations, issues that are deeply reshaping the landscape of European companies. But what I remember most is the human quality of our group. We came from very different backgrounds, yet we evolved together with a rare sense of kindness and mutual support. By the end of the year, each of us had developed a new perspective - more expert and more responsible - on the impact of our actions, both professionally and personally.
2) Did your years at Solvay Schools inspire you to become involved in associations and to create connections within the community?
K : I already had a strong culture of volunteering, but Solvay changed the scale of it. By joining the SBS Alumni Association, I made a strategic choice as much as a personal one: as a new entrepreneur, I knew that the most valuable connections are not found on LinkedIn - they are created through authentic moments of sharing. What I discovered is that Solvay is truly a family: a community that continues to support and mobilize for its members long after graduation. That is rare. And incredibly valuable.
3) The Summer Party has become a must-attend event for the Solvay Schools Alumni community. In your opinion, what makes this event so special and unifying for former students?
K : From the very first edition last year, I volunteered to co-organize the event. The challenge was real, but the evening exceeded all our expectations: participants rediscovered something essential - the simple pleasure of reconnecting, sharing a meal, and dancing freely among peers. Because Solvay is also about joy and fun. This year, we are aiming even higher: the long evenings of late June are our greatest ally, and I can promise you that surprises are in store. Don’t forget to register!
4) Both of you are particularly involved in the Solvay Schools Alumni association: what does this commitment represent for you today, both on a human and professional level?
K : As the mandate holder of the Sustainability Club, I have understood one fundamental thing: in an increasingly hybrid and dehumanized professional world, community engagement is one of the last spaces where we truly act for others. Organizing events, sharing knowledge, creating opportunities for people to connect - all of this generates real value, both for the members and for myself. It is a human investment with exceptional returns. And it is exactly the philosophy I also bring into my entrepreneurial activity.
