Editor's note: Joe Einhorn, chief executive of fashion pinning/buying site?The Fancy, interviews?Fran?ois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of PPR, in the article below. PPR the Paris-based group that owns luxury brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, and sports brands that include PUMA and Volcom (and is an investor in The Fancy). Joe Einhorn: We were talking recently and you told me that you used to be a computer programmer and that you even started your own company a long time ago. What's the story? Fran?ois-Henri Pinault:?It?s true that I?m fond of new technologies and it dates back quite a long time ago. I discovered computer science back in 1980, when I was a student at HEC business school in Paris. I found it so interesting that I used to spend a lot of time reading and learning more about computing. I learnt FORTRAN and COBOL programming languages. As a member of the school?s student-led junior company, I started focusing on relational databases management for our clients and I became the Dbase software developer of the team.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/3BXHbIZw9oM/
