Villeneuve [vil·nuv]

The name is inspired by “la rue de Villeneuve,” the street that has been home to generations of my ancestors in a small farming village on the outskirts of Lyon, France. I chose this name to honor the unparalleled work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit that my parents, grand-parents, and great-grand-parents—on both sides of my family—demonstrated when pursuing their careers with passion, pride, and intensity.

The French word also carries another meaning: Villeneuve translates to “new village,” and it truly takes a village to get to a place of self-assurance, happiness, and career satisfaction. At Villeneuve, we want to be part of your new village as you step into the next exciting season in your career. You do not need to walk this path alone.
