Christian Philippsen is a renowned international automotive consultant based in Monaco, whose activities revolve around the organization of automobile sales (contemporary vehicles and classic cars) and the design of automobile events, with the exception of activities relating to the Automobile Club de Monaco. His expertise also covers automotive design assistance and support for specialized media, with an approach based on product culture, network quality and a keen understanding of the expectations of collectors and brands alike.

His career is directly linked to the history of the prestige automobile. Born in Antwerp in 1944, he developed an early passion for cars and mechanics. In the 1960s, he joined the Ferrari importer in Belgium and the Écurie Francorchamps, a seminal period that brought him into close contact with the world of manufacturers, racing and major events. He then pursued an international career in the corporate world, before returning fully to the automobile through projects combining heritage, customer experience and staging.

In 1988, Christian Philippsen played a decisive role in the return of Concours d'Elegance to Europe by creating the Concours de Bagatelle in Paris, which has become an internationally recognized benchmark. For decades, he has also been called upon to judge major competitions around the world, consolidating a rare legitimacy at the interface between collectors, designers, engineers, luxury houses and event organizers.

Today, his firm puts this experience to work on demanding projects: structuring and accompanying sales, consulting for automotive events, strategic and editorial support for the sector's media, and design-related interventions, with a focus on confidentiality, precision and operational excellence.
