Successively a journalist for La Tribune de l'Économie then a senior reporter for Le Figaro, he joined the financial newspaper Les Échos in 1990, of which he becomes editor-in-chief. In 1998, he became editor-in-chief of the economic pages of Le Figaro, then managing editor of the paper, where he succeeded Franz-Olivier Giesbert.
