Patrick Drahi
Patrick Drahi is a prominent businessman and entrepreneur known for founding and leading Altice, a multinational telecommunications and media company. Born in Morocco in 1963, he moved to France at a young age and later studied at the École Polytechnique. Drahi made his fortune by acquiring various telecom companies across Europe and the United States. However, he has faced significant challenges, including massive debt levels and legal issues involving associates, most notably the arrest of Armando Pereira in 2023. Despite these setbacks, Drahi has successfully negotiated a debt restructuring deal for SFR, maintaining a majority stake in the company.
