For Maxime Forgeot, his time at ESSEC is more than just a memory — it is a legacy that shaped his youth. "I support the ESSEC Foundation to give back to this institution what it gave me and to contribute to its enduring impact," he shares with conviction. His decision to focus on scholarships reflects a clear vision: "It seems essential to me to enable as many people as possible to access this world-class education, which is unfortunately too often reserved for students from privileged backgrounds."
What made Maxime’s experience at ESSEC so unique ?
"I chose ESSEC for the richness of its program and the School’s ability to allow us to build a path that is both demanding and personalized," he explains, highlighting his interest in real estate and finance. Beyond the rigorous academic training, it was the diversity of encounters, intellectual stimulation, and the freedom to explore different fields that shaped his journey. "ESSEC didn’t just educate me academically, it taught me to take initiative, adapt, and stay curious."
These skills and this open-mindedness propelled Maxime Forgeot toward a brilliant professional career. After managing iconic real estate assets at Unibail-Rodamco and orchestrating major investments at Schroders, he founded F&A Asset Management in 2016, an independent asset management firm that now oversees nearly one billion euros in assets. This success earned him recognition by the Choiseul Institute as one of the 100 leaders under 40 shaping the city of tomorrow.
His story is a testament to the transformative impact of ESSEC and the importance of social scholarships in ensuring equal opportunity. His commitment is a call to support the ESSEC Foundation and enable future talents to benefit from this world-class education.
