Contact the Digital Disruption Chair

The ESSEC Digital Disruption Chair prepares the next generation of leaders and helps organizations understand and respond strategically to emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain and quantum computing. Grounded in ESSEC Business School's Paris and Singapore campuses, the Chair works with the people who build these technologies and the executives who deploy them.

Led by Chaired Professor Jan Ondrus and Executive Director Jérémy Beaufils, the Chair conducts applied research on how emerging technologies reshape industries, involving highly selected students in corporate projects at the technological frontier. It also contributes to public debate through the Digital Disruption Matrix, its annual barometer of emerging technologies, and its regular publications.

The Chair brings together an ecosystem of partners from finance, consulting, and technology, with BNP Paribas and Sia as sponsors, and Google, Amazon, and SAP as supporting partners.
