This second meeting took place around Arnaud Nourry (82), CEO of Hachette Livre and President , on the topic on January 18th at Rothschild.
Arnaud Nourry detailed his professional track, from ESCP business school – education that gave him relevant skills to the board of Hachette Livre. Company of Groupe Lagardère, counting 120 brands and publishing more than 20 000 books each year, Hachette Livre is the world number 3 of publishing and makes 10 % profit. Its CEO told about the struggle that opposed him, during the years 2009 and 2010, to Google, Amazon and Apple for the settlement of an efficient economic model for the digital book. This model has been established and shared since. Using his own words, a mix of work, luck and an intense curiosity enabled him to lead this professional career and to improve Hachette Livre leadership in the evolving world of publishing.
The Meetings of the Foundation, a dinner series in small group – 3 meetings per year – around an Alumnus with a stellar record who shares his experience in his field of expertise, represents a priviledged opportunity of networking.
It contributes to the reinforcement of ESCP brand and to the proudness of belonging to our community. The number of places is limited to facilitate the discussions with the speaker.
