Biography

[edit]

Giscard d'Estaing studied at the Paris Institute of Political Studies and has a masters in economics.

He began his career with Cofremca where he served as associate director from 1982 to 1987, helping research changes in patterns of food consumption and its impacts on marketing and strategy.

In 1987 he joined the Danone Group and held various executive positions with subsidiaries such as HP Foods and Evian-Badoit.

Giscard d’Estaing joined the resort company Club Med in 1997 as chief operating officer in charge of finance, development and international relations. He became chief executive officer in 2001 and chairman in 2002.[2] Since 2004, he has rebranded the company as upscale, but with an all-inclusive price, closing the least profitable resorts to reinvest capital back into the most profitable.
