Bérengère Sintes (SKEMA 2018), Ambassador of the Montreal Chapter

Could you tell us a little about your journey since graduating from SKEMA Business School and what motivated you to become an ambassador of the SKEMA Alumni Montreal Chapter?

After graduating in 2018, I held various marketing and communications positions in large companies, such as McDonald's France, and in the non-profit sector until 2022, when my partner and I decided to move to Montreal. I was keen to veer into new technologies and I now hold the position of communications manager in an innovation zone, the Quebec equivalent of a technology park (technopole in France). The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Centre opened by SKEMA in Montreal in 2019 is a perfect fit and this is what motivated me to become an ambassador in Montreal.

As an ambassador, how do you plan to revitalise and energise the SKEMA Alumni Montreal Chapter? Do you have any ideas for initiatives or events you'd like to run?

Through targeted, engaging and dynamic communication, my goal is to encourage more Montreal-based Skemans to join and actively participate in the events we organise.

What message would you like to send to our alumni to encourage them to join and become actively involved in the SKEMA Alumni Montreal Chapter?

I used to be a little reluctant to participate in this type of alumni event myself. But it's an experience that allows you to make authentic connections in a city and country that you're discovering, to find your bearings, to build up a network you can rely on, and to keep up to date thanks to the conferences organised by the chapter.
