We asked 3 questions to Zakaria Belkhoja, Graduate Engineer from Ecole Polytechnique in 2007
Why did you choose to study at l’X? What do you preserve from your cursus at l’X?
As I was a student at Lycée Saint-Louis (Paris) taking part to a preparatory class for the Grandes Ecoles, I heard about Ecole Polytechnique’s prestige thanks to an alumni.
If I should preserve one thing, I would say the quality of the academic learning in engineering sciences.
As an international student, was your cultural integration easy?
Coming from a country where French is frequently used aside Arabic to teach as well as to work, I was already used to speak French. Thus, the integration was easier for me and I spent some great times at l’X.
After your graduation, how did you manage to build your professional career?
After a specialization in project management, I joined in 2008 Swicorp a MENA focused investment bank. In 2010, I joined BNP Paribas Corporate Finance as an Associate – M&A Energy Group based in Paris.
Consecutively to the revolution that occurred in Tunisia in 2011, I moved back to Tunis. Since 2014, I am holding the position of Finance Director & Head of Strategy within Meninx Holding.
