Faculty

Pascal QUIRY

Affiliate Professor, HEC Paris

Why reserve my finance teachings only for those who can spend several weeks on the HEC campus in Jouy-en-Josas? With this idea in mind, I launched the ICCF@HEC Paris in 2015. Twenty cohorts later and with over 12,000 participants, my initial intuition has been more than validated.
