GEM Inspiring Talent

Nora Stolz – GEM MIB 2008

CEO & Founder of Cadouu Ltd

Several words immediately come to mind when you mention Nora – Driven, Convincing, focused, in short, inspirational. When you see the names of the companies for whom she has worked since her MIB with GEM in 2008, one cannot help but be impressed: J.P.Morgan, Morgan Stanley, PIMCO and BlackRock to name but a few.

Daring to leave a VP position in the city with the largest asset management firm in the world to create a startup company in Germany, mad or an example to follow?

Nora has convinced like-minded professionals to join her in this adventure and the project is in its second year….

She has not stopped there, but has also created a networking breakfast club to empower women. One foot in Berlin, one still in London, Nora is always open to meeting GEMs and exploring new ideas. An inspiration to future generations of GEM professionals

GEM Startup of the year - Picked by peers

Julien Bengué GEM MSE 2014 – ESC 2011

Co-Founder and director of La Winerie Parisienne

Julien has always been involved in school life: President of the Junior Enterprise then active member of GEM Entreprendre. He then continued on with the #GEMAlumni network: Class Representative, starting the Group GEM Alumni Entrepreneurs ... Upon leaving school, he was already well on his way to entrepreneurship. With La Winerie Parisienne, he reinvents the wine industry in Ile-de-France from sorting table, vats, barrels, and a bottling line to condition the wines. The winery brings together grape varieties from the greatest French “terroirs/regions” in order to create unique blends for his line of wines "Made In Paris". Recently Julien and his partner Adrien launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring vineyards back to the Ile de France region.
Let's bet that it is the friendly and offbeat side of his business that has earned him votes from his peers.
