President

Antoine Gothuey

Antoine cherishes the opportunity he has had over the past few years to enter the seemingly impenetrable world of international Geneva. He looks forward to seeing his board help students from around the world to fully immerse themselves in the same way he was. Inclusivity, reliability, and openness toward all backgrounds; core values that Antoine wishes to fortify this year. He is confident that every member will continue to honour the UN principles and GIMUN to be a social agora for its participants.

In order to help GIMUN achieve its objectives, through his mandate, Ethan will put into practice his new found interest in finance by heading their finance department.
