Jean-Louis-Philip GIRARDET

Originally from the south of France, I’ve followed a dual career path: first in hospitality and food service, both in France and the U.S., including Michelin-starred establishments and luxury hotels, and also spending two years in London, before returning to France to move into recruitment, where I progressed from consultant to director of a firm.

A high-level athlete in my youth, I continue to challenge myself by completing Ironman competitions and 50km (31 miles) trail runs.

I’m naturally curious, driven by intellectual growth, and deeply motivated to help others develop and succeed. I’ve always held onto the goal that one day, I’ll return to the U.S., where I loved my experience.
