[PORTRAIT] Frédéric Celdran, a good man...

Not everyone can make a successful exit. It's the mark of the greats. It's the hallmark of the best. It's definitely Frédéric Celdran's trademark. After 18 years with BNPPRE, two years with Standard Life and, above all, 14 years with GA Smart Building - the company of his life - the Managing Director of GA Promotion is taking his professional bow, with 51 buildings and 830,000 m² delivered to his credit. It is with a serene mind, but no doubt a heavy heart, that he leaves one of the real estate industry's most desirable companies. "My first source of pride was that I always remained on good terms with the companies I was leaving. The second was to entrust the team to someone good, someone compatible in human terms", our future young retiree attacks from the outset. Let's talk about his team: he quotes it all the time, at every turn. Underneath his sometimes rough exterior, he loves this multi-disciplinary team of 15 employees to pieces... and they love him for it. France, Nathalie, David, Delphine and the others: Frédéric Celdran has a memory for each one, an attention for all. With his professional family, he is often demanding. Confusing, sometimes. But he's always fascinating. So fascinating, in fact, that as soon as he hung up his gloves, he decided to "take" a course at ESTP in the Mogi Master's program, where he will be teaching "real estate development". The confusion of words suggests that he will be giving as much as he will be receiving. "My thing is the transmission of knowledge". Not surprisingly...
