 Michel Baroni, Associate Professor within ESSEC’s Finance Department and Academic Director of the Specialized Master’s in Financial Techniques and Insurance-Finance, received a rare honor in February when he was elected “Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors” (RICS).
This title is conferred in recognition of the ability and contribution of professionals or academics to Real Estate vocations.
