Michel-Édouard Leclerc

French entrepreneur

Michel-Édouard Leclerc built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Michel-Édouard Leclerc as French entrepreneur.

Michel-Édouard Leclerc was born at Landerneau in 1952. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne.

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

He worked as chief executive officer and businessperson.

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

Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour.

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