Born on February 25, 1949, Vincent Bastien is a former student of École polytechnique (X 1967), of the HEC Paris MBA program and of the Senior Executive program of Stanford Business School. He began his career in the group Saint-Gobain in 1972 and was notably CEO of Saint-Gobain Desjonquères (1980-1988). [1]

He was then deputy director of the beauty branch of Sanofi and CEO of Yves Saint Laurent Parfum (1995-1996). In 1996, Sanofi management took advantage of the publication of the results of its perfumes and beauty products branch for the first nine months of the year (down 5%) to announce its departure, because it then wanted to dismantle this branch [3] and sell it.
