TRIUM Class of 2015 Ten Year Reunion

---

Corinne Dauger blends boardroom insight, classroom energy, and studio creativity into a singular career. An alumna of HEC Paris (H. 84), she spent two decades sharpening brand strategy at Procter & Gamble—culminating as Marketing Director for France—and later at Hermès as Vice President of Creative Development, where she helped translate the Maison’s heritage for modern global audiences. Since 2009 she has been an affiliate professor of marketing in HEC’s MBA and Executive MBA programs, repeatedly voted among the school’s most inspiring faculty thanks to a teaching style that marries analytical rigor with artistic intuition.

Through her boutique consultancy, Dauger advises leaders at Chanel, LVMH, Porsche, Suez, and Royal Air Maroc on “cultural activism”—grounding brand purpose in societal currents rather than fleeting trends. Her perspective is enriched by formal art studies at the École du Louvre, Brussels Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and Madrid’s Prado Academic Art School. She still paints daily and stages exhibitions several times a year, insisting that the discipline of composition sharpens strategic vision and decision-making clarity.

Whether guiding a CEO, critiquing a canvas, or challenging MBA cohorts, Dauger’s credo remains constant: breakthrough ideas arise where strategy meets imagination and empathy — and bold questions inspire transformative growth.
