Keynote speaker Frederic Jenny serves at ESSEC Business School in Paris as Emeritus Professor. He has also been the OECD Competition Committee’s Chairman since 1994.

The OECD is a global organization dedicated to developing policies that could improve lives. The organization wants to make sure that everyone has the chance to be wealthy, have equal opportunities, and be happy. 

The OECD collaborates with policymakers, governments, and citizens to create evidence-based global standards and seek solutions to various economic, social, and environmental problems. For example, they offer a one-of-a-kind forum and knowledge center for analysis and data and exchanging ideas. The center also enables advice sharing on global standard-setting and public policies.

Speaker Frederic Jenny is also the European Center for Law and Economics of ESSEC Co-Director. This center aims to combine law and economics into a single system. Such a method is now a must for enterprises that know how the law affects their strategy and how crucial legal regulation is for these enterprises to be able to compete.

Frederic Jenny has also been the Office of Fair Trading’s Non-Executive Director in the UK from 2007 to 2014. From 2004 to 2012, he served as one of the French Supreme Court’s Judges. He has also been the WTO Working Group on Trade and Competition President and the French Competition Authority Vice-Chair.

Additional past roles include being a Global Professor of Antitrust at the NYU School of Law. Furthermore, he has been a visiting professor at several colleges and universities.

Jenny has a Doctorate in Economics as well as an MBA from ESSEC Business School.
