A new president for L’École de design Nantes Atlantique

Further to the Board of Directors meeting on December 14, 2021, L’École de design Nantes Atlantique, a private higher education institution supported by the Nantes St-Nazaire Chamber of Commerce and Industry and associated with the University of Nantes, announces that Ms. Anne Brochard, founder and director of L’Etincelle RH, will take over the presidency of the school on behalf of the Nantes St-Nazaire CCI. She succeeds Emmanuelle Gaudemer, Director of Development of the AIA Group, whose presidency has come to an end after 7 years. She takes this opportunity to salute the work carried out by Ms. Gaudemer and her support for the school.

nne Brochard will accompany the school, alongside Christian Guellerin, Director General, in a new stage of its development.
