You will be challenged by two IMD professors, Jim Pulcrano and Benoît Leleux, who bring more than 60 years of experience in entrepreneurship and scale-ups as founders, investors, mentors and teachers. They bring enormous value and an international mindset to the program. You will also benefit from Innovaud’s broad network as well as a direct connection to the Scale Up Vaud community.
