Isaac Carasso

Spanish entrepreneur, founder of Groupe Danone

Isaac Carasso built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Isaac Carasso as Spanish entrepreneur, founder of Groupe Danone.

Isaac Carasso was born at Thessaloniki in 1874. His recorded nationality is Spain.

Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.

He worked as entrepreneur.

His recorded affiliations include Danone.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the business was built from Spain shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
