Defying Defeat to reach Success

Sebastian Lacroix, C.E.O. of the LaCroix Foundation and one of L.A.’s Businessmen of the Year, according to this year’s report.

So much of his career has been covered by the media since the founding of the LaCroix Foundation a couple of years ago, but very little is known about the man himself.

So, the question on everyone’s minds is: Who is Sebastian LaCroix?

“You become strong by defying defeat and turning loss and failure into success.”

Few details are known about the past of the elusive C.E.O., but those are the words he has lived and still lives by.

After joining the army at a young age, LaCroix served for several years, dreaming of one day returning home to a good life. However, it was not meant to be. Upon his return, he discovered that his family had fallen into severe financial troubles. 

After many futile attempts to restore his family’s fortune, it seemed fate had dealt LaCroix a terrible hand. However, his luck would take a turn for the better a few years later, when, with the patronage of a Belgian noble whom he had impressed, LaCroix would leave France to seek his fortune in Great Britain. 

Leaving the only home he had known to go to Great Britain was a gamble, but that very gamble served as the basis for his business career. A career which ultimately led him to America, where he would go on to establish the LaCroix Foundation and make a name for himself as one of L.A.’s most renowned and successful business owners.

“Be wary of what your own eyes show you, even in the modern nights. Things are rarely what they seem.”

Those are LaCroix’s enigmatic parting words to us. And though we can only hope to interpret them in our own ways, we can only hope that their true meaning will aid the young C.E.O. in retaining his success for the years to come.
