Emilie Damont
Front Desk Team Manager, INSEAD Hotels, Europe Campus
"I completed my studies in hotels and catering and have always worked in hospitality in the Fontainebleau area. But INSEAD is so multicultural that it feels as if I have an international career! The school’s Residences are very different from your typical tourist or business hotels, which I greatly appreciate and enjoy.
Currently, I lead a team of around 16 people, all working at the Ermitage, Clos St Merry and – when the renovations are complete – the Viatte. We welcome programme participants and other guests, such as faculty and staff, and always aim to provide the best customer service. For me, the hotel business is a job that involves discipline, reactivity and a true sense of service."
Katherine Mercier
Finance Area Manager, Faculty Administration & Support, Europe Campus
"I’m now providing administrative support to the finance professors, along with my team of faculty assistants, and I’m proud of the positive and supportive culture that we have created together.
In all honesty, I joined INSEAD because I was looking for a job closer to home. Since then, however, I have transformed into an informal 'brand ambassador' for the school, sharing my positive experiences with visiting candidates, participants and potential new staff. I am so proud to be part of this institution and my highlight of last year was running the Foulée Impériale de Fontainebleau race as part of the INSEAD team."
Wai Yee Fong
Centre Manager and Research, INSEAD Asia Campus
"My fascination with the Asia Campus initially stemmed from the enchanting lush green spaces that envelop it. Now an integral part of the school, I remain drawn to the global ambiance, intellectual leadership and cross-disciplinary relevance that define INSEAD.
I take pride in planning and running conferences, webinars and other events, while also revelling in the creative process of crafting content for newsletters, websites, event brochures and LinkedIn posts. This dynamic role allows me to make meaningful contributions to the vibrant intellectual community at INSEAD."
Bachar Tabbara
Regional Director, Executive Education, Middle East Campus
"Working in an environment where people are inspiring has stimulated and energised me for all these years. The school’s global footprint, along with its people and endless intellect, give us a unique and invincible competitive advantage.
I am responsible for Executive Education in the Middle East, Türkiye and Africa. My colleagues and I design and deliver a wide range of programmes for companies and governmental entities, but I am especially proud of all the women’s leadership programmes that we are delivering in this emerging region. Together with my team, we have managed, over the years, to increase both awareness of INSEAD and the value of Executive Education in the Middle East. In the future, my ambition is to further grow our programmes in Africa."
