The HEC Alumni Perfume & Beauty Club is delighted to invite you to an exceptional evening at The Visionnaire – Espace François Dalle, L’Oréal’s iconic venue, where we will have the honor of welcoming and discussing with Jean-Claude Le Grand and Michael Kienle on L’Orèal Group Talent Strategy & Leadership.
Meet Our Distinguished Guests
Jean-Claude Le Grand, Chief Human Relations Officer at L’Oréal Group, has dedicated more than 25 years to shaping the company’s global talent strategy and culture. A visionary and nonconformist, he pioneered Diversity & Inclusion at L’Oréal, creating the Global Leadership Team in 2006. Jean-Claude firmly believes in the power of collective intelligence and continuous learning as key drivers of transformation.
Michael Kienle, Global VP of Talent Acquisition at L’Oréal Group, has held multiple roles across multiple geographies and divisions during over 20-year tenure within the group. A strong advocate of people-first leadership, he believes that L’Oréal’s true strength lies in its people, even before its successful global brands.
This event will provide a unique discussion with Jean-Claude and Michael to explore “How L’Oréal has become a Global Talent Powerhouse, beyond being the global leader in beauty”.
The soirée will also be an exclusive opportunity to discover "The Visionnaire – Espace François Dalle".
Jean-Claude and Michael personally invite the HEC Alumni Perfume & Beauty Club Members to experience this exclusive space for the first time.
It’s a rare opportunity to step inside The Visionnaire, a breathtaking space normally reserved only for L’Oréal employees and only open to the public during the Journées du Patrimoine.
Restored over six years, the Visionnaire is enveloped in a historic courtyard, and it is crowned by a spiral-shaped glass canopy, a symbol of both movement and stability. The Visionnaire is a place where history, creativity, and innovation converge.
