Ernest-Antoine de Seilliere, boss of France's bosses

摘要

He is hardly a typical Frenchman. For one thing, he understands cricket, having attended an English "prep" school. For another, he is well born—the title baron lurks unused in the background—and extremely rich. But most of all, as president of Medef, as the former Confederation of French Employers is now known, Ernest-Antoine de Seilliere promotes a vision of the French economy that is almost British or American in its advocacy of deregulation and the market.
