Justyna Simmons

Justyna Simmons is the CEO and Co-Founder of Your Friend in Paris, a relocation and property advisory firm based in Paris, which she founded in 2009. A licensed real-estate buyer’s agent and cross-border entrepreneur, she has spent more than fifteen years advising global executives, investors and international families on acquiring high-end Parisian property and relocating to France. She works in English, French and Polish.

Originally from Poland, Justyna built both her life and her business from the ground up in a country that was not her own. That experience shapes how she works: she understands the legal, financial and personal complexity of starting over abroad, and has built a practice designed to remove it for others. Her focus is on giving clients the clarity, structure and confidence to move through major transitions with certainty.

At the Paris Resilience Summit, Justyna represents SMEs at the executive roundtable on SME resilience. As a founder who built a small business herself, she brings the lived reality of smaller enterprises to the table — and stands as the SME voice in that conversation.
