Personal background – experience and expertise Jacques-Antoine GRANJON is a graduate of the European Business School in Paris. After completing his studies, his entrepreneurial spirit led him and a friend to found Cofotex SA in 1985, which specialized in wholesale close-outs. In 1996, he purchased the former printing plants of “Le Monde” newspaper, which were being sold as part of an urban renewal program for La Plaine-Saint-Denis, where he established the headquarters of Oredis group. He came up with a completely innovative concept: a Web platform dedicated to private sales of brand name products at deeply discounted prices. Together with his partners, in January 2001 he launched vente-privee.com in France. He thus took his experience in drawing down inventories of close-outs from leading fashion and home furnishing brands to the Internet by applying a dual approach: event-based and exclusive, while always emphasizing customer satisfaction. vente-privee.com was built in the image of its founder as a model corporate “citizen” promoting responsible growth, training and employability and a social conscience. In 2011, he partnered with Xavier NIEL and Marc SIMONCINI to create the École Européenne des Métiers de l’Internet.
