It starts with recognising one’s inherent strength and acknowledging that it is already present within oneself.
Jacques Ferté
Co-founder of Gallia Brewery
I saw the programme as a way for me to really test out the viability of my new project, while at the same time build confidence in my entrepreneurial ability. I’m pleased to say that I managed to achieve both objectives.
Thelma West
Founder, Thelma West Diamonds
Thelma West designs fine jewellery from her studio in the heart of Soho, London. Her pieces are one-of-a-kind, showcasing diamonds and jewels that are carefully sourced for their ethical provenance. And in recent years, they have caught the eye of some of the biggest stars in the world. US actress, Zendaya, is a fan. And at the 2021 Met Gala, the singer Rihanna was snapped wearing the Thelma West Rebel Black diamond ring. Meanwhile, West’s rising star has been profiled by the likes of Vogue, The New York Times and Forbes Magazine.
With the media spotlight on her work, and her business experiencing meteoric growth and international expansion, West was at an inflection point in 2022.

You fully expect INSEAD to deliver the knowledge and the tools that you need. What is just fantastic though, is the access you have to faculty who are world class. And the networking opportunities are second to none. During the programme, you have this interpersonal dynamic with your peers that happens during class time and on campus, and the added value is huge.
