Jean-Claude Decaux
Chairman chez Société de Publicite des Abribus et Cabines Telephonique
Profil
Jean Claude Decaux est le fondateur du groupe industriel français JC Decaux, le leader mondial du mobilier urbain, de la publicité dans les aéroports et du vélo en libre service. Il est également le N°1 européen de l'affichage grand format.
Autodidacte, Jean-Claude Decaux fonde à 18 ans une société spécialisée dans les placards publicitaires d'autoroutes, les clients sont là mais la taxation lourde sur l'activité empêche la rentabilité. C'est là que JC Decaux trouve une idée innovante qui lui permet d'inventer le concept de mobilier urbain. L'opération consiste à offrir aux municipalités des abris de bus sur lesquels il placarde ses affiches publicitaires.
Le principe gagnant-gagnant séduit les municipalités et JC Decaux installe son premier Abribus dans l'agglomération lyonnaise en 1962. Rapidement, les mairies s'enthousiasment pour l'offre. Commence alors pour JC Decaux une période intensive où la société doit grossir pour faire face à une demande croissante.
Pour s'assurer le leadership et couper l'herbe sous les pieds d'éventuels concurrents, Jean-Claude Decaux s'entoure des meilleurs designers pour offrir aux municipalités le nec plus ultra. Jean-Michel Wilmotte signe les colonnes Morris, Norman Foster les Abribus et Patrick Jouin les panneaux d'affichage.
En 1999, il rachète à Vivendi l'afficheur Avenir.
En 2000, Jean Claude Decaux passe la main à ses deux enfants prend la tête du conseil de surveillance. Un an plus tard, JC Decaux holdings fait son entrée en Bourse.
En 2006, au prix d'une bataille épique contre son principal concurrent Clear channel, Jean-Claude Decaux arrache le marché des vélos en libre service à Paris. Un concept importé de Scandinavie qui a permis à JC Decaux de voir sa concession pour les panneaux publicitaires à Paris renouvelée jusqu'en 2017.
Présent dans 54 pays, le groupe JC Decaux emploie 8900 collaborateurs. En 2011, il est à la tête d'une fortune de plus de 3,4 milliards d'euros. C'est la onzième fortune française.
