2002 - Creation of ShARE as a think tank for students

ShARE was founded by Sebastien Frendo in China in 2002 when he was an exchange student. ShARE was initially a group of young French people in Shanghai who decided to meet every week and exchange their knowledge about Chinese economy.

As members of this group was about to leave Shanghai and return to France, the model evolved and became a student think tank - which expanded over time across more than 10 countries and gather a few of hundred students.

2017- ShARE deploys a new business model merging consulting and education

Ran as a hobby since 2002, Sebastien made ShARE his job in 2017. During his career as consultant for the private and public sector, two dilemmas always frustrated him. First, how come today we still have large global issues when mankind has all resources and tools to solve them ? Second, why do we always have to choose between ourselves and others ? Can't we have a striving career while making the society progress ?

That is why he set up ShARE in its new shape - a place to grow leaders who will Do Well and Do Good, and a place to advise companies achieve their societal transformation. By combining the two, a new operating model of doing education and consulting emerged.

With the combination of these two activities, ShARE can grow both future and current Do Well Do Good leaders.

Consulting is built in synergy with education: Seasoned-consultants train students 10% of their time, students practice their technical skills within « real life » cases, consulting clients open to the new generation thanks to the network of students, etc.

In 2021, ShARE starts to scale-up its model
