Jean-Christophe Thiery Appointed Deputy CEO of Hachette Livre

Thiery, a close associate of Vincent Bolloré, steps into the role as Hachette Livre aims to strengthen its global position.

Jean-Christophe Thiery has been named the new Deputy CEO of Hachette Livre, succeeding Stéphanie Ferran.
Thiery has a long history with Vincent Bolloré, having worked on media expansion projects since 2001.
Hachette Livre, now under Vivendi's control, is the world's third-largest publisher with branches in the US, UK, and Spain.
Thiery's appointment is seen as a strategic move to solidify Bolloré's influence over the French publishing leader.
The transition follows a period of internal challenges, including leadership changes and strategic disagreements at Fayard.
