Career[edit]

Morand has focused his career teaching at the university level and fostering educational, professional and industrial ties between fashion and business. He began in education as a teaching assistant, then professor, of economics at the École supérieure de commerce de Rouen, Neoma, from 1978 to 1985. He was also a lecturer and teacher at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne as well as at the HEC Business School from 1981 to 1987. In 1981, Morand was a visiting scholar at the Northwestern University in Chicago. From 1985 to 1987, he ran the post graduate degrees and international programs at ESCP Europe.

Morand expresses his own passion for creativity, fashion, design and innovation through writing and has penned numerous pieces on these subjects in addition to exploring the relationship between the business and culture. In particular, he published two books, one of which discussed the European economic and monetary union as a victory for Lutheranism and the other which explored the relationship between luxury and religions.

In his free time, Morand is a musician, singer-songwriter and interpreter.[1][2][3]

Public service[edit]

Morand has been active in the public sector and between 2000 and 2006, he led various French and European missions, notably for Christian Pierret, the Minister of Industry, and his successor Nicole Fontaine. One project led to the creation of the Cité de la mode et du design in Paris, located in Quai d'Austerlitz, in Paris. He also examined the consequences of the abolition of the multi-fiber agreements and the entry of China in the World Trade Organization on the fashion and textile industries.

Morand also led a Euro-mediterranean mission about the strategic repositioning of the Moroccan textile and apparel industry (2002-2003) in addition to completing several studies for the Moroccan government regarding tariff reform and the establishment of a design school (2003-2005)
