Cécile Verdier
President, Christie's France
The place of women in the art world
Cécile Verdier has been President of auction house Christie's France since September 2019.
After graduating from Sciences-Po in 1989, she went on to study art history and become an auctioneer, to devote herself to what is really close to her heart: art and auctions.
In 1997, she joined Christie's for the first time, before being ousted in 2008 by its rival, Sotheby's, of which she became vice-president in 2016. For this art enthusiast, taking up the reins at Christie's at a time when the auction landscape is undergoing a complete overhaul, is a return to her roots.
Our Breakfasts are open to anyone interested in gender issues, whatever their school, university or studies.
Our events are open to men, and it's essential to get them involved.
A buffet breakfast will be available from 8am. Discussions will start at 8.30 a.m. sharp and finish at 10 a.m. We look forward to welcoming many of you.
