Johann Kremenezky

Austrian entrepreneur (1850–1934)

In the history of enterprise, Johann Kremenezky is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Johann Kremenezky as Austrian entrepreneur (1850–1934).

Johann Kremenezky was born at Odesa in 1848. His recorded nationality is Austria.

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

He worked as entrepreneur and engineer.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

Recognition followed: Wilhelm Exner Medal (1930).

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

Johann Kremenezky died in 1934, aged 86. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
