BADASS BIO
The sunny beaches of the French Riviera seem like a paradise to most people. But Philippe has never been like most people: always an iconoclast, he left his native environment in the South of France to seek his fortune overseas and became an American citizen along the way.
After more than a decade honing his Badass skills at big-name corporations including Pinkerton and DirecTV, Philippe fully embraced the French concept of being an entrepreneur and created the CESSON marketing & training agency in a garage in 2004.
As Badass in Chief™, Philippe leads a bi-coastal team of professionals in Los Angeles and New York City dedicated to life, liberty and the pursuit of technology. Every week, the smart folks of CESSON generate results for its clients all over North America, moderating the exclusive Badass LinkedIn CEO group, and putting together the ever-popular Badass Friday show, the podcast about life, liberty and the pursuit of technology.
In his capacity as Badass Speaker™, Philippe has delivered more than 400 presentations, keynote addresses, and workshops (IRL and online) all over North America and Europe. Philippe is one of the most highly-rated and sought-after speakers on all levels of technological and nontraditional ways of expression. True to his Badass nature, Philippe infuses every engagement with his abundant sense of humor, charming accent, and finely-tuned business acumen.
Philippe has also sat on the alumni board of the University of Dallas, where he received his MBA, and served as president of the San Diego French American Chamber of Commerce. Philippe enjoys spontaneously disconnecting for days at a time to recharge in the company of his three children and to explore on his motorcycle remote byways in the American Southwest and Baja California and maybe pick up a mic and make you laugh at a late-night dive bar in NYC, or play a DJ set at an after party.
