In an international environment increasingly shaped by geopolitical tensions — particularly around strategic chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz — energy markets are facing growing instability, with major implications for governments, corporations, and investors worldwide.

The HEC Alumni Energy and Geopolitics Clubs are pleased to invite you to an exceptional conference featuring Professor Jean-Michel Gauthier, who will provide insights into the current geopolitical and energy dynamics, and explore their economic, financial, and strategic consequences.

Jean-Michel Gauthier is Professor and Head of the Energy & Finance Chair at HEC Paris. An internationally recognized expert on the intersections between geopolitics, energy markets, and finance, he combines a distinguished academic career with extensive industry experience, notably as a Partner at Deloitte and through leadership roles within TotalEnergies. His work has long focused on the deep transformations reshaping the global energy system and their implications for businesses, investors, and public decision-makers.

Designed for executives, investors, and decision-makers, this event aims to provide strategic perspectives and actionable insights in a rapidly evolving global energy landscape.

The conference will be followed by an interactive Q&A session with participants.

📅 Date: June 10
📍 Location: HEC Alumni
⏰ Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM, followed by a networking cocktail
