Narcisse has had a diverse career in which he has both built his own ventures and worked for various companies. At the event, he will share more about the differences between entrepreneurship and corporate life, and the lessons he has learned along the way.

Some of the messages he will share with students:

  • "In order to be successful in your career, you must master emotional regulation, financial literacy, financial discipline, and financial planning. This will take a lot of pressure and anxiety away and allow you to focus and seize opportunities as they arise."
    ‍
  • "If you don't strategize and plan your own career path, someone else will use your knowledge and skills to build their own. Stay in charge!"
    ‍
  • "Most successful people in the tech world are already part of a strong network within the industry. If you are new to your career, especially as a first or second-generation professional, put a lot of effort into building your own global network. Find mentors and people who are invested in your success and life journey. Protect your reputation as if your life depends on it."
