Mentored by Fabienne Dulac, Emeis Former Deputy CEO
Programme Grande Ecole at HEC Paris and singer at Notre-Dame’s choir
Passionate about music and especially classical singing since she discovered it at the Maîtrise of Radio France at the age of nine, Nélya has always wanted to reconcile her career with her singing practice. After high school, she chose the classe préparatoire path and entered HEC Paris. Alongside her first year at HEC and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at the Sorbonne, she prepared the audition for the Notre-Dame School of Music.
Since then, she has balanced her master’s studies at HEC with an intense musical life, performing in more than 50 concerts, six tours in France and abroad, the reopening of the Cathedral and numerous classes and masterclasses. Eager to work and learn in a stimulating environment, she also completed a part-time internship in consulting while continuing her training at Notre-Dame. In January 2026, she will join L’Oréal as an intern.
Currently, Nélya is applying to the HEC–Yale School of Management double degree and several scholarships. Joining Yale would allow her to deepen her knowledge of the corporate world while taking some classes at Yale School of Music. Ambitious to grow both professionally and artistically, she hopes to connect with people who can challenge her dual project and support her as she navigates future choices.
