Axa
Strategic Concepts & Mechanics
Primary Evidence
"The scene takes place in the late 1990s, during these monthly dinners of Entreprise et Cité, the club that brings together, around Claude Bébéar, the founder of Axa, those whom Christophe Labarde calls "the Great Beasts" in a book that bears this title (Plon, 2021). As Bébéar wanted, the feasts take turns at one of the members' homes, and this time it is David de Rothschild who is hosting."
"The big operations can resume. Claude Bébéar, the founder of insurer Axa who had supported Bolloré a lot in his raid on Delmas, and had supported him "two or three times during difficult periods," was about to be served: "I like Vincent's conquering side. In rugby, I like these agile breakthroughs by the backs, and it doesn't matter if sometimes they are stopped. Vincent, too, knows how to stop.""
"Claude Bébéar, whom he sees as a "genius of influence." The latter has accumulated three visible influences: his insurance group Axa, Entreprise et Cité, and then the Montaigne Institute."
