What happens when a senior executive steps into the classroom — not as a guest speaker, but as an educator? In this inspiring testimony, Isabelle Clerc-Gippet, Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer at Caran d’Ache, shares her journey through EHL’s Executive Teaching Fellowship Program — and how it transformed the way she transmits knowledge, engages teams, and connects with the next generation. With a career spanning sales, marketing, and general management in premium consumer goods, Isabelle was already an experienced leader. But moving from guest lecturing to structured teaching challenged her in unexpected ways — from course design and pedagogy to technology-enabled learning and peer collaboration. Through the program, she discovered how teaching skills mirror — and deepen — leadership skills, and how education can become a powerful extension of executive impact, both inside and outside the organization.
