Patrick Drahi Biography

Patrick Drahi made international headlines when Altice, a multinational telecommunications company he founded, issued its $1.8 billion dollar IPO in January 2014. Following a buy-low, sell high mantra Drahi built Altice around 20 acquisitions of lagging cable and mobile operators, often at knockdown prices in places such as France, Belgium, Israel, Portugal, and the Dominican Republic.

Through Altice he owns 75% of Numericable, France's largest cable operator. In 2014, Drahi won a bitter takeover battle for SFR, a telecom operator, beating out the powerful Bouygues family for the $23 billion deal. In June, his Altice Group acquired Virgin Mobile France for 325 million euros, following up with a December purchase of Portugal Telecom for 7.4 billion euros. Drahi, the son of two math teachers, was born in Morocco and emigrated to France as a teenager. He holds an engineer degree from the prestigious Parisian university École Polytechnique and lives in Geneva with his wife and children.
