Philippe Lecuyer awarded Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 – Ile de France Region

On Tuesday 12 September, our Chairman Philippe Lecuyer received the EY Ile de France Entrepreneur of the Year award.

The award recognises his exceptional career, the constant growth of the DEF network in France and internationally, and our sustainable business model.

Like all the evening’s winners, this prize also illustrates an exemplary French entrepreneurial success story.

Philippe Lecuyer’s career path and the development of the DEF Network elicited many questions during the cocktail reception, particularly from young entrepreneurs keen to gain a better understanding of the unique collaborative way in which our Network operates.

Philippe Lecuyer and the DEF Network will be competing for the national EY awards, which will be announced on 16 October.
