EMP-24

Charles Pierron writes that it is great to be in touch after so many years. Great initiative from Charles: “I would love to hear from all of our classmates. Even better if we find an opportunity to get together. I have been based in Korea since 2008 with the same bank, Societe Generale, as the chief country officer. After leaving Chicago, I’ve lived a nomad’s life, living in Singapore and New York. After a break of three years in France (Lyon) with my wife and daughter (who had never lived there before), we moved to Poland, Germany and now back to Asia. My daughter is preparing for the IB next year and is aiming at going to college in the U.S. (New York and Boston) She wants to study media and communication. I look forward to getting news from all our past friends.”
