Is it inadvertently or by calculation as Jean-Francois Dehecq _ spoke in an interview in Le Figaro of January 9 _ the hypothesis of a marriage of Sanofi-Synthelabo with Aventis, even as the number of 30,000 employees two French pharmacy were invited to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of his origins? The emphasis that has been put to emphasize the limits of mega-mergers suggests he already misses his own audacity. It is indeed a real surprise that the founder of Sanofi in Elf in 1973 and group president in 1999 from the merger with Synthelabo valid suddenly this option. Both his alter ego at Aventis, Igor Landau, is deemed to have always in mind, as Jean-Francois Dehecq was often fought in the corridors of political power and financial, including, say, last fall. Because if he himself can look with pride in the mirror the path, they have a responsibility to look ahead..

The first deadline for Jean-Francois Dehecq himself who, at sixty-three, has no designated successor, and whose term ends in late 2004. This discrepancy could be considered a union that, at its actual implementation, avoiding the clash of two strong personalities and a priori unable to share executive power. Like any business founder, Jean-Francois Dehecq should be concerned about how his work will survive. An arranged marriage before his departure would be a way to show how everything changes after him.
