We are delighted to introduce Patrick Hauss , Regional Director France at CSC (Corporation Service Company®), as a key speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2025! Patrick, a seasoned expert in intellectual property and brand protection, leads CSC’s French operations from Paris with remarkable acumen and dedication. Established in 1899, CSC has grown over its 125-year legacy into a titan of the domain name industry, overseeing a staggering portfolio of over 2.5 million domain names across 1,713 extensions—a figure that underscores its dominance in the field. The company is the trusted partner of over 90% of the Fortune 500, equating to at least 451 of America’s largest firms, and more than 90% of the 100 Best Global Brands as ranked by Interbrand, meaning 91 or more of the world’s most iconic brands depend on CSC for their digital security and domain management needs.

This achievement reflects CSC’s strategic vision and technical expertise, setting it apart in a competitive landscape. Across Europe, Patrick’s leadership in France ensures that CSC’s services resonate with the region’s diverse business community, from global giants to emerging players, delivering tailored solutions that protect against online fraud, domain hijacking, and brand dilution. His regional insights, paired with CSC’s century-plus heritage and global infrastructure, make him an invaluable contributor to the summit. Attendees can look forward to a compelling session exploring the future of domain security and brand integrity. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Patrick speak in 2025!
