On the Impact Around the World podcast by EDHEC Alumni this week is a valued member of the EDHEC UK Alumni Board of Directors, Cédric Petitpas. A 2002 MiM graduate, specialising in Law & Taxation, Cedric launched straight into a film production career, working for Canal+. After 10 years working for the Paris-based animation studio Gaumont, in 2014 he made his way across the channel to join Google’s YouTube team, where he helped launch the YouTube Kids app in Europe.

Cédric delves into the importance of learning multiple languages for career development, why he choose EDHEC over art school, Google’s approach to employee learning, and London’s place as a global centre for the arts and cultural industries. He also offers his advice for EDHEC students graduating under difficult circumstances this year.
