PART FOUR: DE LA CROIX, THE ENTREPRENEUR EXTRAORDINAIRE, CEO AND BUSINESSMAN

 

Those magnificent accomplishments in art, culture, writing, teaching, producing and directing musicals and plays did not refrain him from making his mark and influencing many groups, organizations and peers in additional demanding   and competitive arenas, careers, professions and endeavors, such as in the hospitality industry, where he created, designed, managed and owned internationally famous and some of the world’s best hotels, resorts and floor show restaurants.

Part of his business as an international lawyer, he practiced international public law and served as senior state advisor and legal counsel to heads of states, cabinet members, ministers and rulers. In addition, he served as vice president, president, CEO, chairman and/or PROPRIETOR of several world class organizations, hotels, resorts, restaurants, corporations and international multi-million Dollar enterprises and turn key projects in the US, Europe and Asia, to name a few:

Le Marquis de Rochambeau Corporation, Le Paramount Incorporated, Chez Nous Incorporated, Paris Bisou Incorporated, Music and Arts Society of America Incorporated, American Council for University Planning and Academic Excellence Incorporated, The Academician Magazine, De La Croix Productions International Incorporated, De Lafayette Publishers Group, Intercontinental Hotels Consortium/Panorama International Incorporated, World Presidium of Certified Head Founders Incorporated, Pageant Election Committee of Mrs. Washington, World Shao Lin Ji Shindokai Federation Incorporated, IBBA International Incorporated,  American Hospitality Institute Incorporated, etc.

How good is he in business?

Let’s see. Just one year, before he arrived to the United States, de La Croix was already a celebrity  and a very wealthy man. He has already sold art for over 20 million Dollars, earned more than 2 million Dollars in writing royalties with a record of 250 million Dollars in sales in the hospitality industry and international businesses in Europe and the Middle and Near East. So, he did very well.

How much did he earn from the sales of 97 published books and practicing international law? God knows!

A good businessman? You bet! But not a“ faceless businessman without a heart” as he frequently explains.

His philosophy and understanding of good business can be “easily explained” according to him-of course- He said “ There is room for everybody in this world. Do not take the place of two. While you are eating, share your food with others. If you cannot afford to buy food, do not steal it. Draw a nice picture of it and hope that somebody will pass by and use it as an expensive gift wrapping paper.”

 

PART FIVE: DE LA CROIX, AMERICA’S LEADING AUTHORITY ON HIGHER EDUCATION AND ACADEMIA

 

His Books and encyclopedias on higher education, postsecondary education, adult learning, colleges and universities rating, curricula evaluation, international comparative study and evaluation of academic programs worldwide, analysis of academic life impact on scholars in foreign countries, accreditation, best academic programs in the United States and Europe were purchased and used by thousands of colleges, universities, faculty members, counselors, researchers, United States Information Agencies, embassies, cultural attaches in approximately 150 countries, starting  with the University of Hong Kong, and ending with the University of Virginia, passing by the United States Department of Education and the United States Library of Congress. Glowing articles and reviews from leading authorities in the field, including the AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION are posted or referred to in LINK # 24 of this website.
