Advice from a boss, Jean-Philippe Verdier: “It Takes a Lifetime to Get Where You Want to Be”
Interview, 2026

As Verdier & Co. celebrates its tenth anniversary, we are pleased to share a recent interview with our Founding Partner, Jean-Philippe Verdier, originally published by French Morning.

Looking back on nearly three decades in London and ten years of building Verdier & Co., Jean-Philippe reflects on the entrepreneurial journey, the lessons learned along the way, and the mindset that continues to shape the firm today.

The interview traces Jean-Philippe’s journey from senior roles at institutions such as BNP Paribas, Jefferies, Deutsche Bank and Greenhill & Co., to founding Verdier & Co. in London in 2016.

Jean-Philippe speaks candidly about the entrepreneurial mindset, the importance of self-awareness, and navigating a decade of extraordinary headwinds — from Brexit and the Covid pandemic to geopolitical instability and a challenging 2024 market, followed by the firm’s strongest year to date in 2025.

He discusses the value of building a trusted advisory board, fostering a diverse team, embracing continuous learning, and integrating AI tools to sharpen the firm’s competitive edge and deliver greater value to clients.

At the heart of his philosophy is a simple conviction: that success is a lifelong pursuit, and that resilience, agility and authentic relationships are what sustain it.

We look forward to continuing to build on the foundations of the past ten years alongside our clients and partners.
