Édouard Tétreau, born May 8, 1970, is a French essayist, columnist, and political and economic consultant. He is the Founder and Managing Partner of Mediafin.
Education and career
Tétreau was born in Soissons, France, and attended the Jesuit school Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague in Paris. He graduated from HEC Paris in 1992 with a degree in entrepreneurship. He has worked for international organizations such as the European Council on Foreign Relations,[1] AXA Private Equity in New York, and Schroders in London.
In 2004, he founded Mediafin, a strategic consulting firm through which he advises a number of European industrial families, financial institutions and CEOs of European Fortune 500 companies.[2]
A weekly columnist for French financial newspaper Les Échos, he writes on matters concerning politics, digital challenges, and finance, from a pro-European perspective.[3] He is a regular television commentator and radio contributor on macroeconomic and policy issues.
Tétreau serves as a trustee of the Committee for Economic Development (CED), a public policy organization based in Washington, D.C. He is also a member of the Advisory Board of La Maison Française at Columbia University and an affiliate professor at HEC Paris, where he taught a course titled 'Managing in times of financial crises.'[4]
Writing
In his various articles in Le Monde and Le Figaro as well as in his column for Les Échos, and in his public interventions with the French Parliament, in China, and in New York, Tétreau has repeatedly called for a “United States of Europe”.[5]
In his book Analyste, published in 2005, Tétreau discusses the excesses and short-termism of the financial system during the internet bubble.[6] Tétreau then published his second book 20 000 milliards de dollars upon his return to France in the fall of 2010, after having spent three years in New York City. The book discusses the national debt of the United States following the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and the country's transition from the Bush to the Obama administration.[7] It was later translated to Chinese (《二十万亿美元：强大美国的背后》出中文版) and published in China by China Citic Press.
Tétreau is also the author of Quand le dollar nous tue, published by Grasset in 2011.
His upcoming book, Au-delà du mur de l’argent, will be published on 9 September 2015 by French publisher Stock. It follows an Autumn 2014 briefing paper for the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture, calling for an intervention of Pope Francis in New York in September 2015, during the Pope's scheduled visit to the U.S.[8] The book warns of the risks of a major and imminent “accident” in the global economy. It offers concrete answers for an alternative economic model based upon ‘Pope Francis economics’ and various teachings from other religions, which, like many secular philosophies, give priority to the poorest and most fragile elements of our societies.[9]
Recognition
On March 16, 2000, as a financial analyst for Crédit Lyonnais, Tétreau published an analysis of an imminent internet crash titled "Take your e-profits before a potential e-crash." In "Mercury Rising," he predicted the danger of bankruptcy for Vivendi Universal, leading to the departure of Vivendi head Jean-Marie Messier.[10]
In 2005, Tétreau received the Sénat Reader Prize for an Economics Book for his book Analyste: au cœur de la folie financière[11]
On May 10, 2006, Tétreau spoke before the French Senate’s Commission on Finances, underlining the need for the French economy and society to prepare itself for an inevitable, brutal end to the period of financial excess and overabundance.[12]
In China, where Tétreau’s last book was published in 2012, he became a 2013 Young Leader of the France China Foundation Programme.
Personal life
Tétreau is married with three children, and currently resides in Paris.
