About

Fostering communication between the different services of the Vivendi group, Laetitia Ménasé has put in place a truly effective legal team allowing ‘them to be less isolated in their work and to enjoy enriching the expertise of other departments while refining their analysis and insight to their thoughts’. In her four years with the French multinational mass media company, Ménasé has made her mark on the strategic development of the company through her participation, directly and indirectly, in many development projects. Her influence is demonstrated daily when integrating acquired businesses and knowledge sharing platforms to speed up amalgamation as well as ensuring that the department is at the forefront of new media and mediums of customer information consumption. Ménasé has a strong hold on the various aspects of group activities allowing her to produce helpful insights while being able to be more protective for the company from business and legal points of view. One notable highlight during Ménasé’s career came in her role during the acquisition of EMI’s music arm (a multinational music recording and publishing company with high profile music artists) by Universal Music, which is part of the Vivendi group. She had to negotiate country by country, artist by artist, the agreements necessary to finally obtain the green light from the Commission on the acquisition and thus enabling the group to benefit from the management of entire catalogues of an assortment of high quality artists ranging from The Beatles to Katy Perry.
