Finance Club of the Association des Amis des Grandes Ecoles de France
 

The Finance Club of the “Association des Amis des Grandes Ecoles de France” (AAGEF) was created by the Board of the Alumni of the (AAGEF) at the beginning of 2011 and its objective is to bring together global finance and industry leaders to debate and discuss important financial topics with Finance Club members, while fostering high level French-American professional relationships and friendships. 

The target audience is primarily drawn from the AAGEF extensive alumni network. This audience includes senior level executives of the financial services industry, senior level corporate executives serving in the US subsidiaries of European Companies, or serving in major U.S. Corporations, as well as more recent graduates working in the financial services industry. Friends of alumni, colleagues and referrals are always welcome to join and enrich the Finance Club.

The Finance Cluborganizes various events, meetings and conferences tailored to the needs of the speakers and the audience. Attendance to our semi-annual conferences held at the French Consulate in New York is limited to senior level executives with more than ten years of working experience. However other events such as panel discussions or networking events draw from a boarder audience.

One of the rules of the Club is that all sessions are off the record, meaning that members can use everything said but without attributing anything to a particular speaker.

AAGEF is a not-for-profit organization that brings together the U.S. Alumni Clubs of the following leading French Schools:  Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Centrale Lyon,  Centrale Paris,  EDHEC,  EM Lyon,  ENA,  ENSAE,  ESCP/EAP,  ESSEC,  HEC,  HEC JF,  INSEAD,  Mines ParisTech, Normale Sup, Ponts & Chaussées,  Polytechnique,  Sciences-Po,  Supaero, Supelec and Telecom ParisTech.
