Cultural Tip
In French business culture, explicitly stating that you "gère bien les priorités" signals reliability and professionalism. The verb gérer is often preferred over the anglicism "prioriser" in formal meetings, especially in France and French‑speaking Switzerland. However, in more informal tech‑start‑up environments, you’ll also hear "prioriser" used frequently.
