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.

Despite these setbacks, Drahi has successfully negotiated a debt restructuring deal for SFR, maintaining a majority stake in the company.
