Philippe, your career in the luxury sector is extensive, and you’ve spent many years on different projects that have shaped your approach and contributed to your current involvement in exciting new ventures. Tell us about your beginnings, especially how you developed The Circle of Beautiful People and what that period meant for your professional life.
My journey in luxury began with a fascination for human excellence rather than objects. Very early on, I understood that luxury is ultimately about emotion, discretion, and meaningful relationships.
The Circle of Beautiful People emerged as an intuitive initiative an exclusive ecosystem where visionaries, creatives, and decision-makers could meet beyond labels and titles. That chapter was foundational; it shaped my philosophy of curated connections and set the tone for everything I do today.
Over the years, you’ve built valuable international relationships. What have they meant to you, and how have you integrated them into your various projects?
International relationships are the invisible architecture of my career. They are built over time, through trust, shared values, and mutual respect.
Rather than being transactional, these connections become living bridges between cultures, industries, and opportunities, allowing each project to resonate globally while remaining deeply personal.
You’re also a highly skilled strategic consultant. Which skills do you think have been most prominent in your work and provided you with the best experiences?
My work as a strategic consultant is rooted in vision, intuition, and clarity. I have always focused on understanding the essence of a challenge before defining the strategy.
Discretion, adaptability, and long-term thinking are central to my approach especially when working with leaders who operate at the highest level and value confidentiality as much as results.
In addition to your strategic consulting work, you’ve organized events in different countries. What would you highlight about these encounters with exclusive individuals?
The events I have curated across different countries were designed as intimate experiences rather than traditional gatherings. What matters most is the alchemy between people placing the right individuals in the same space, at the right moment. These encounters often evolve into collaborations, friendships, and ventures that extend far beyond the event itself.
Let’s talk about the present and the future. You’re currently the CEO & Founder Director of Sentinel Executive Group Ltd, and I have the honor of being the Ambassador for Spain. For those unfamiliar with your work at Sentinel, could you explain how it operates?
Sentinel Executive Group Ltd operates at the intersection of strategy, influence, and protection of interests. We act as trusted advisors to executives, investors, family offices, and luxury brands seeking clarity and security in complex environments. Our model is bespoke, discreet, and international supported by carefully selected ambassadors who embody our values and vision.
How do you create that magic of forging such interesting connections?
Connection is an art form. It begins with listening and understanding intention rather than profile. True synergy cannot be forced; it is cultivated through trust, timing, and authenticity. That is where the magic happens.
You’ve recently become a Co-Partner with Marie Lindner Consulting, alongside Marie Lindner—whom I also had the pleasure of interviewing at Red Ivory—and with Ladies View Magazine, a project dating back to 2013 that you’re now reviving with her.
Tell us about both projects.

These are truly two major ventures for 2026 that will undoubtedly mark a turning point in the world of luxury. What strategies will you implement this year?
The strategy for the coming years is intentional growth. We are focusing on strategic alliances, high-quality editorial content, and selective international expansion.
Exclusivity, relevance, and purpose will define our presence in the evolving luxury landscape.
Finally, what’s a wish you’d like to fulfill?
My wish is to continue building with integrity creating meaningful connections, inspiring collaboration, and preserving the human dimension at the heart of luxury.
