About Jacques Corrèze

Lived 1912 – 1991 (aged 79). Jacques Corrèze was a French chief executive officer and businessperson.

Jacques Corrèze (11 February 1912 – 28 June 1991) was a French businessman and politician. He was the chief executive officer of the United States-based operation of L'Oréal for the Americas (Cosmair), the world's leading company in cosmetics and beauty products. He was the secretary of Eugène Deloncle.

About Corrèze was a member of La Cagoule, a violent fascist-leaning and anti-communist group. During its early period, Eugène Schueller, founder of L'Oréal, provided financial support and held meetings for La Cagoule at L'Oréal headquarters.

During the Second World War both Corrèze and Eugene Schueller, as well as many other L'Oréal executives, were very active supporters of the Vichy regime. When the Gestapo raided Deloncle's home, killed him and injured gravely his son Louis Deloncle, Corrèze was present but escaped. He later married Deloncle's widow, Mercedes Deloncle. Correze resigned from L 'Oreal in 1991 as well, claiming that it was not due to his health. However, he was forced to leave the United States and died of pancreatic cancer a week later in Paris, aged 79.
