Chief Executive Officer, SEB

Dijon is the heart of Burgundy: a city that combines modernity and heritage.
As the historic birthplace of Groupe SEB, we are proud of our roots in a region renowned for its richness and authenticity.
Our employees find a precious balance here: the human scale of an accessible city, the vitality of a metropolis, easy connections and immediate proximity to nature.
Dijon is also a way of life: traditional and rich gastronomy, exceptional vineyards known throughout the world and remarkable architectural heritage.
Whenever we welcome visitors, we love to show them a beautiful, welcoming city that is resolutely focused on the future.

Laurence Mangenot
Director, ESTP, Dijon Campus

I started working in Dijon in 2018, to open and then develop a new campus for ESTP, an engineering school specializing in sustainable construction. Dijon has the warmth of a small town but it’s a metropolis with ambitious projects and a vital, committed ecosystem which gets these projects off the ground.

Xavière Castano
Cofounder and Director of CSR & Public Relations, Crossject

I moved to Dijon 26 years ago at the start of my professional journey, and I’ve never left. Dijon is a magical mix of heritage, tradition, passionate and inspiring individuals, as well as the vibrant contrasts of fog and light. Through my company, Crossject, and various regional and national roles, I proudly express my love for the city I now call home.

Jean-Philippe Porcherot
CEO, Atols Conseils et Développements

While many digital companies are drawn to Paris, we chose to open 2 agencies in Dijon. Many of our staff live here and love the quality of life.
Our clients and partners from around France are always warmly welcomed when they visit. They enjoy staying in our beautiful city and we make sure they discover its rich cultural and gastronomic heritage.

Vicky Graillot
High-level sportswoman (weightlifting) and Secretary of HM Dijon Bourgogne 21

Dijon is far more than my hometown, it’s my home. This is where I built my elite sports career, supported by CREPS Bourgogne, HMDB21 club, and the Palais des Sports. These places are a constant reminder of everything Dijon has given me. It’s an authentic environment, where I can count on a community of enthusiasts to support me every day.
When I host athlete friends or partners, I love showcasing Dijon’s fine foods and drink, historic landmarks, and sharing a good meal together.

Arthur Deballon
Director, AVS Communication and AXO Agencement

With my two companies, I proudly work with local businesses and national brands on bespoke projects in Dijon and across Europe. Dijon’s excellent road, highway, and rail connections places it in the center of a region that stretches far beyond its borders.
I show my attachment to the region by supporting local clubs, events, and cultural venues through partnerships and sponsorships.

Sarah Chefirat
Head of Studies at ESTP Dijon Campus

I was born in Dijon and spent part of my childhood in the heart of the city, living on Place Grangier and frequently visiting Darcy Park and its famous Pompon bear almost daily. Later, as a student, the back-to-school concerts became a cherished tradition during the academic year. And now, I am thrilled to showcase Dijon and its many assets to the students I support in my role at ESTP, who come from all over France and internationally.
