what they say

  • Sylvain Duranton · Global Leader · BCG X

    "I invited Jean-Philippe to speak at the BCG X executive committee. His experiences as a champion, as well as his role in organizing a successful global event – the Paris 2024 Games – are rich and inspiring for global leaders. Jean-Philippe enthusiastically and intelligently shares both his successes and failures. His journey commands great respect but also raises many questions, which he answers with perspective and honesty. He is excellent at engaging with his audience in both French and English. In short, a great personality and a speaker I highly recommend!"

  • Jean-Marcel Ciet · Executive VP · Ceva Santé Animale

His rich and impactful experience-sharing on the organization of the Paris 2024 Olympics and the management of his career inspired our management teams during a friendly and highly inspiring exchange. A big thank you, Jean-Philippe, for your testimony!"

  • Claude Zaouati · President groupe Vilavi

    "An authentic and inspiring intervention for our employees. His sports career, which led him to become world champion while overcoming failures, as well as his active participation in the organization of the Paris 2024 Games, captivated our team by highlighting both his successes and challenges. This resonated perfectly with our individual and collective challenges. The small “Ping” event at the end, where our employees had the opportunity to play with him, was greatly appreciated and added a friendly dimension to his talk."

  • Sébastien Perpette · CEO BIOPYK CAMPUS · SIPCA

    "We wanted the presence of a reference in French sports, with an established professional success, following an excellence-based training journey to transition after his athletic achievements. Jean-Philippe Gatien clearly ticks all the boxes! He successfully engaged all 70 employees present during a relaxed conference that was both fascinating, inspiring, moving, and also motivating. He found the right words to make this moment unique and accessible, while also projecting us forward by highlighting all of our strengths and emphasizing the importance of capitalizing on them."

  • Pierre Cherret & Alexandra Fusaï · CLUBS DIRECTOR & FFT SOCIO-PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT MANAGER

    "Jean-Philippe spoke at the 2024 national conference for tennis instructors at Roland-Garros, addressing over 600 people. His testimony and expertise (…) were inspiring and provided a valuable perspective on the work of our high-level club instructors and the challenges they face. Feedback from participants was extremely positive, highlighting the impact of his words, his experience, his passion, and his commitment to the sport, which served as a source of motivation and encouragement."

  • Grégory Brussot · CEO EX AEQUO Communication

    "Jean-Philippe spoke for nearly two hours on topics as varied as his career and the Paris 2024 Games. Through his experiences as both an athlete and a high-level leader, he was able to share with the 200 business leaders present, with all the clarity and humility that define him, his perspective on fundamental topics for the business world: performance levers, bouncing back after failure, motivation, commitment, and more. The icing on the cake, Jean-Philippe also made himself available at the end of the evening when it was time to challenge some entrepreneurs at a ping pong table, which added to the friendliness and originality of the moment."
