JESSICA MERIC

Who am I in a few words ?

I have an atypical career in the business world. Indeed, I graduated from Polytech'Montpellier school as an agrifood engineer. However, I apply a 90 ° turn after I graduate. I go to Saint-Martin in the French West Indies and created a medical equipment sales and rental company. Today, it is made up of three points of sale on the islands of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. I manage a team of 6 people.

In parallel, I practice my second passion which is travelling and its intercultural exchanges. It started with a semester of study in Prague as part of the Erasmus program. I then deepened my travels in Eastern Europe. Arriving in the French West Indies, I get closer to the United States and Canada that I can easily visit having dual French and Canadian nationality.

In 2017, I experienced an exceptional crisis in my society, the passage of cyclone Irma which will ravage the two islands where I am installed. I will manage to overcome these events and come out stronger. Today, it is the Covid-19 health crisis that has hit businesses hard, with economic repercussions that will be dramatic for some.

With my experience and my professional network, I decided in 2019 to return to school to train in counseling. I choose INSEEC de Chambéry and its master II "Consulting and Business Development". I now wish to focus on business consulting because it is an area that fascinates me. In particular in terms of strategy development and crisis management, I have also written my thesis on this topic. For me, the human being within the company is fundamental and it is necessary to adapt to the new generations.
