“Its results speak for itself”: Arnaud Lagardère appoints Lise Boëll as head of Éditions Grasset
INFO LE FIGARO - Six months after the ouster of Olivier Nora, the CEO of Fayard, loyal to Vincent Bolloré, becomes the deputy general director of the Hachette literature house under Jean-Christophe Thiery.
“It’s the best organization for Grasset in a new cycle,” assures Jean-Christophe Thiery. In April, the ouster of Olivier Nora, the emblematic CEO of the publishing house, created an earthquake in the literary world. Reference shareholder of Louis Hachette Group since the acquisition of Lagardère, Vincent Bolloré had appointed Jean-Christophe Thiery, CEO of the group, to the same position at Grasset.
The latter will no longer be alone at the head of the house. “To support me in my role as CEO of Grasset, Arnaud and I asked Lise Boëll to take over as delegated general manager, in addition to her mission at Fayard which she will retain,” Jean-Christophe Thiery announced this Monday. The appointment of the boss of Fayard, loyal to Vincent Bolloré, to the position of number two at Grasset could create a new shock in the literary world.
Nothing to worry about for the owners of the house. “She is an excellent publisher,” defends Arnaud Lagardère, CEO of Lagardère and Hachette Livre. Its results speak for themselves.
She revitalized Fayard in a few months.
