Biography
Franck Riboud was born on 7 November 1955 in Lyon. He is the son of Antoine Riboud, the previous CEO, who transformed the former European glassmaker BSN Group into a leading player in the food industry. He attended the Ampère High-school (Lycée Ampère) in Lyon, and the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
Riboud took over the reins at Danone from his father in 1996, although his family only spoke for 1% of Danone's share capital at the time.
