How do you develop a culture of entrepreneurship in a large organisation?
How can we nurture the entrepreneurial culture within a major group? Jean-François Palus, Deputy CEO of Kering, and Didier Valet, Head of Corporate & Investment Banking, Private Banking, Asset Management and Securities Services at Societe Generale, talk about how a company operates, as well as attitudes and guiding principles in terms of entrepreneurship.
Jean-François Palus, François-Henri Pinault’s right-hand man, has been Deputy CEO of Kering since 2008. He has spent most of his career in that group, within its various business divisions, and has held senior operational, functional and managerial positions. He was Head of Mergers & Acquisitions and then CFO before he became Deputy CEO. Since 2012, he has also been Chairman of Puma.
