Sky Full of Stars ✨ A gala bringing students, alumni, faculty and partners together in Madrid
More than 600 members of the ESCP community came together in Madrid at the Real Fábrica de Tapices de Madrid to celebrate what makes us strong: people, talent and a truly united community.
The Sky Full of Stars Gala was an evening of connection, bringing together students, alumni, professors, staff and corporate partners around our shared Bold & United vision.
🏆 A special highlight of the night was the Awards Ceremony, honouring outstanding contributions across our ecosystem. The awards crafted by local artist María Vega de Seoane from Atelier Pottery were presented to:
• Best Company: GONVARRI
• Best Alumni 2025: Elodie Perthuisot, CEO of Carrefour España
• Best Professor: José Cobo
• Best Student Representative: Adam Hemberg
• Best Connector: Paulína Blahyjová
• Best Student Association: EBS – ESCP Bachelor Society
From inspiring speeches to live music, an unforgettable hora loca and a buzzing photomaton, the night truly captured the energy, diversity and joy of our community.
The Awards Ceremony was hosted by Prof. Minna Paunova and Prof. Francesco Chiocchio, whose energy, warmth and professionalism set the tone for the night. We also thank Prof. Javier Tafur, Dean of ESCP’s Madrid Campus for his welcome address and all presenters who helped make each moment meaningful.
A very special thank you to the Madrid Campus Student Experience team: Olga Alonso Pelegrin, Roxana Olaru, Nanaro Lacruz and Edurne Garde, as well as to Almudena Escudero de Cendra , Events Manager at ESCP Madrid, for their outstanding work in bringing this ambitious event to life.
