Jean-Charles Naouri

French businessman

Jean-Charles Naouri is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.

The record lists Jean-Charles Naouri as French businessman.

Jean-Charles Naouri was born at Annaba in 1949. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at École nationale d'administration and École Normale Supérieure.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur and businessperson.

What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.

Recognition followed: Officer of the Legion of Honour (2013) and Officer of the National Order of Merit (2010).

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