Background

About Alexandre Chervet

I am a committed entrepreneur, passionate about societal innovation and technology. Currently, I serve as Deputy General Manager at Simplon, where I oversee strategic development and partnerships while leading a team of over +40 people. My mission is to make digital skills accessible to everyone through innovative and inclusive education - a role that echoes my own journey and commitment to creating positive social impact through technology. At 16, after leaving school to work as a pizza chef, I decided to dive into entrepreneurship. Realizing the importance of a solid education, I returned to school and joined EMLYON Business School, where I was also in the association Article 1, which promotes equal opportunities. In 2015, I co-founded Corporate for Change, a subsidiary of Ticket for Change dedicated to social intrapreneurship, and I led its development for several years. This role allowed me to collaborate with large companies to drive high-impact social and environmental projects. Later, I took on the role of Country Director for INCO.org in France, where I continued to promote large-scale social innovation. Today, at Simplon, a network of impact-driven schools specializing in digital skills training, I manage partnerships and the strategic growth of the group, after having led the southern regions of France.
