1. What are your new responsibilities at IFP School?
My new responsibilities involve ensuring everything is in place for the smooth daily operation of the School and creating the conditions that allow both the faculty and students to work effectively.
This primarily involves overseeing administrative management, financial and budgetary management, logistics, and IT support.
Of course, I am not alone in carrying out these tasks. I am supported by a team of around ten colleagues who work towards the same goals.
2. What is your ambition for the School?
My ambition is to make the IFP School Administration Department a solid organizational foundation that ensures compliance, financial stability, streamlined processes, and strong support for both students and faculty.
In this way, I believe I can contribute to the School’s main goal: training highly qualified engineers who are immediately operational and capable of becoming key players in the energy transition and sustainable mobility.
