Benoit RICO ‘I was convinced by the FEDE’s international reputation’
- Can you tell us about your previous studies?
I have a FEDE European Master’s in Management and Business Strategy (ENACO) as well as a FEDE European Bachelor’s (DEES) in Marketing, plus a BTS in Business Unit Management.
What have been the highlights of your professional career so far?
Having gathered experience as a company employee, working for example as assistant manager in a company dedicated to the food trade and communications manager in a consulting firm, I took the plunge and became an insurance agent. This has enabled me to enjoy the freedom, challenges and risk of entrepreneurship.
The personal investment is such that my current status has nothing to do with any of my previous positions.
- Why did you decide to do a DBA?
My objective is twofold: to make a contribution to entrepreneurial research so as to improve our understanding of management, and to take a step back from my business activity and learn to take on new challenges. The FEDE’s reputation was an important factor in my decision.
- What is the subject of your research?
My topic is remote working, with a focus on new forms of management, intergenerational factors and applied skills.
