Following a recommendation by François Chatel, Director General of the Rennes School of Business, two business leaders from iconic Breton companies have been appointed to the Rennes SB board.

Supporting the Director General (Thomas Froehlicher), gathered around the president (François Chatel), the board votes on major strategic and financial orientations and approves important decisions. It must also formulate opinions and can issue advice. 

“I am delighted that these two leaders have joined us. It enables the Governance of the Rennes School of Business to illustrate its key values, which we strive to pass on to the managers of tomorrow: kindness, respect, equality and a sense of civic duty. We train future leaders to establish a more inventive, creative and, ultimately, kinder world.” adds Thomas Froehlicher, Director General of the Rennes School of Business.
