Marie Holive talks with Jean-Hugues Monier, retired Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company and chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, about weaving purpose and service into a life of leadership.
From mentoring students and supporting transatlantic education through the Lafayette Fellowship, to helping restore cultural icons like Notre-Dame de Paris, Jean-Hugues has made giving back a core part of his journey, not a later chapter, but a constant thread.
In this thoughtful conversation, Marie and Jean-Hugues reflect on how leaders at every stage can blend impact, legacy, and service in powerful and lasting ways.
