This realization led to the creation of a revolutionary concept: an online platform entirely dedicated to flash sales for brands.In January 2001, Jacques-Antoine and his seven business partners launched vente-privee.com in France, before e-commerce had barely started in Europe. He then applied his extensive experience to the Internet, selling excess stock for important fashion and home brands, relying on two main strategies: events and exclusivity, all the while focusing on customer satisfaction.

The website is now available in 8 European countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, UK, Belgium and Austria, and the Netherlands) and the United States, in partnership with American Express. In 12 years, vente-privee.com has become an event-creating media, bringing together over 18 million members and 2.5 million unique users per day. This solid foundation allows the site to offer its 2,000 partner brands an innovative distribution channel.Jacques-Antoine Granjon’s professional success has been recognized with many awards. He was named ‘2011 Communication Personality of the Year’ by the Grand Prix des Agences de l’Année, ‘Personality of the Year’ by the Trophées LSA de l’Innovation 2011, ‘Innovator of the Year’ at the 2011 Technologies Numériques awards, ‘2011 Man of the Year’ by the Enseignes d’Or panel and ‘2010 Businessman of the Year’ by French GQ readers.
