Vincent Bolloré belongs to the commercial record as a figure whose ventures outlasted the conditions that produced them.
The record lists Vincent Bolloré as CEO of investment group Bolloré.
Vincent Bolloré was born at Boulogne-Billancourt in 1952. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Lycée Janson-de-Sailly and Paris Nanterre University.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as businessperson and entrepreneur.
His recorded holdings include Compagnie de l'Odet, Bolloré and Société des plantations des terres rouges.
Commercial success is easy to measure and hard to interpret; timing and market do much of the work.
Recognition followed: Commander of the Legion of Honour (2009), Knight of the Legion of Honour (1995), Commander of the Ivorian Order of Merit (2008) and Grand Officer of the National Order of the Ivory Coast (2012).
That the business was built from France shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
