About Hubert Védrine

A key figure in French diplomacy, Hubert Védrine is a clear-thinking and respected voice in international debate.

A high-ranking official and politician, he held key positions for more than 19 years at the heart of power, notably as Secretary General of the Élysée Palace under President François Mitterrand and as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1997 to 2002. These roles placed him at the center of the major geopolitical issues of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Today, he continues his involvement at the highest level, notably as a member of the board of directors of LVMH, where he brings his international experience and strategic vision to bear on major global decisions.
