Advice from an entrepreneur, Jean-Philippe Verdier: “It Takes a Lifetime to Get Where You Want to Be”
Interview, French Morning – June 2026
As Verdier & Co. celebrates its tenth anniversary, we are sharing 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 realities of entrepreneurship, the lessons learned along the way and the mindset that continues to shape the firm today.
The interview explores resilience, self-awareness, trusted relationships, continuous learning and the role of artificial intelligence, as well as the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people when navigating periods of change.
Jean-Philippe’s perspective is rooted in his experience across the French and British business communities and in Verdier & Co.’s broader commitment, as a B Corp-certified firm, to sharing experience and supporting the next generation.
