About Patrice Cros

Born in Tarn (81), Patrice Cros (47 years old) lived in the shadow of the Montagne Noire, in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park. As a child, he often visited the Benedictine abbey of En-Calcat in Dourgne. As an adult, he produced a 52-minute documentary on the Benedictine rule and leadership (10,000 views on YouTube). He is currently the manager of Premier Cercle™, which he founded on June 18, 2002, based on the founding principle of providing firsthand information through leading events, opened and concluded by CAC 40 executives or European Commissioners, supported by thorough research and a journalistic approach to the topics covered. In 13 years, Premier Cercle™ has gained a reputation in France and in a global niche internationally – industrial property – synonymous with editorial rigor, quality, and prestige. The conferences are organized worldwide (Europe, US, Africa). It was after a stint at the Council of Ministers of the European Union – Air Transport division – that he took flight in content production around conferences in various groups (IIR, Benchmark Group / Journal du Net, Les Echos). He leads a team of 12 people between France and Belgium. He is a graduate of the College of Europe (Bruges) and INSEAD (Fontainebleau).

He does not know how to prune vines or make crème brûlée. He attempts to be an entrepreneur in France…and in the capital of Europe, trying to understand as best as he can, courageously, the world around him. Patiently and courageously.
