The "intern-seasoned" table


At the "Intern-Seasoned" table, I met the following people:
Disclaimer: The following are my perceptions, so don't sue me!

Remi Meunier
He is a MBA student at HEC, one of the top business schools in Paris. I loved the structure of their program. Its 4 years, with global internships every 6 months, so that by the time they graduate, they have already built a network of contacts who have worked with them personally and they have traveled around the world learning new cultures and gathering invaluable experience that makes them an instant asset to any company. Their new global contact lists also enables them to join other entrepreneurs, young or experienced in innovations anywhere in the world. It also arms them to adapt to cultural differences since they have already lived through a few while in school.

Remi is a quiet, easy-going, gentle lad of 21 years of age, who has grandparents in Delhi, parents in France and siblings working in South Africa and Afghanistan. He is well traveled and has a knack for languages that would be the envy of any linguist. He is extremely passionate about classical music, can connect with people of any culture with a smile, can do financial analysis in his sleep and whenever I asked him to try something new, he always replied, "why not?"

He is presently in South Korea as an exchange student and studying Tae Kwando. He is completely immersed in the Korean culture, has become fluent in the language and is traveling in South Korea whenever he can. He is also exploring possibilities for ventures there.
