When I first landed in Paris, I didn’t know exactly what to expect — just that I wanted to be somewhere that connected technology, innovation, and management in a meaningful way. That’s what drew me to the M.Sc. Management of Technology – Information Systems (MOTIS) program at ESIEE Paris.

What I really liked about MOTIS was its balance — it wasn’t just one thing. It gave me the chance to learn from both the technical and management sides: from courses in digital transformation, data management, analytics, IS project management, SAP, and requirement engineering, to subjects like project management, entrepreneurship, negotiation, creative leadership, and innovation strategy. I enjoyed that mix — it helped me see how technology fits into the bigger business picture. The program also had a very international atmosphere, with students from all over the world. Working on group projects with people from different backgrounds taught me a lot about communication, teamwork, and adaptability — lessons you don’t get from books. One thing I truly appreciated was the professors. They were not only experts but also incredibly approachable and supportive. Even after completing my studies, I’ve remained in touch with several of them — it’s a circle of guidance and mentorship I still value deeply.

In June, our group worked on the Green Paris Project, a research project focused on innovative green energy solutions for a sustainable future. We really applied our project management perspective to this one — planning, organizing, and executing it like a real consulting assignment. Then in July, we collaborated with a Paris-based startup called Finds, where we developed a technical solution tailored to their business needs. That hands-on exposure made a big difference.
