Ernest-Antoine Seillière de Laborde (born 20 December 1937 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) is a French entrepreneur and the heir to the Wendel empire (representing €730 million).[1]

He is a member of

Ordre National du Mérite
. Contrary to popular belief, he is not a member of the French nobility and is therefore not a French baron (although his title is said to be authentic but papal).

His great-grandfather, Aimé Seillière (1835–1870) was married to Marie de Laborde (1844–1867) in 1865. His paternal grandfather is the French academician Ernest Seillière.

Career

He graduated from the

abbé Laguérie.[3]

He is a former member of the Steering Committee of the

Bilderberg Group and participated in all their conferences between 1979 and 1987 as well as 1992 and 2002.[4]

In 1990 and 2000 he was one of the top big linkers in the French corporate network [5]

At Medef

He succeeded

UNICE (renamed "BusinessEurope" in Janvier 2007), the federation of European business, based in Brussels.[6]

Publications

In March 2012, he published a book entitled "On n'est pas là pour se faire engueuler..." ("We are not here to be yelled at"), in which he analyzes the financial crisis, based on his experience as head of Medef and BusinessEurope.[7] He also exposes his vision of France and Europe's future and shares some personal memories.
