Jean-Charles Naouri is chairman and CEO of Casino, a French food retailer with $43 billion in annual revenue and more than 12,000 stores globally. With a net worth of over $1 billion, much of Naouri’s wealth comes from his substantial stake in both Casino and Groupe Go Sport, a sporting goods retailer.
Jean-Charles Naouri began his career as a finance auditor at the French Treasury. Later, in 1987, Naouri became a managing partner at Rothschild & Cie Banque and started his own investment fund, which became the controlling shareholder in retailer Rallye in 1991. Naouri acquired controlling shares in Casino after it merged with Rallye in 1998.
Jean-Charles’s son, Gabriel Naouri, is an entrepreneur and was previously deputy head of international operations of Groupe Casino until 2017. Jean-Yves Naouri, brother of Jean-Charles, is a political advisor and former chief operating officer of Publicis, the French multinational advertising and public relations company.
