Pierre Ferragu
On Thursday, June 5th at 06:45 PM we’re thrilled to host Pierre Ferragu Co-Founder & Managing Director of New Street Research and U.S Producer of the Bernadette Musical.
He has previously been interviewed by CNBC, Bloomberg & EWTN for his role as a Wall Street Analyst and launch of the Bernadette Musical outside of France.
"What Bernadette said when she was offered a great opportunity in Paris. When she was asked what do you want to do. She said I'd like to serve the poor and I think it's a very important charism of Lourdes to serve the poor and the sick. Creating this opportunity to put the poor at the central process of the show is very beautiful."
Pierre will discuss how his journey from BCG to Wall Street to Broadway was shaped not just by professional ambition, but by a deepening Catholic faith. He’ll share how virtues like humility, patience, and trust in God’s timing have helped him navigate both the financial markets and reaching the opportunity of producing the Bernadette Musical in the United States. From co-founding a top global research firm to organizing monthly Jesus Runs for the homeless in New York, he’ll also offer insights on how to invest wisely in a fast-changing world—without losing your soul in the process.
Here’s the evening lineup:
18:45 - Doors Open, take a seat and wait for the talk to begin.
19:00 - Talk Begins: Pierre's story will captivate and inspire.
