Pierre Bellanger

Pierre Christian Bellanger (French pronunciation: [pjɛʁ kʁistjɑ̃ belɑ̃ʒe]; born 14 December 1958) is a French businessman who is founder and CEO of radio station Skyrock, and founder of Skyrock.com (French-language social network).

Today, it ranks as the country's most popular radio station among 13- to 24-year-olds, with four million listeners each day.

As a biology student in late 1970s Paris, Bellanger participated in the free radio movement that helped to topple the state's monopoly on broadcasting.

Bellanger is the author of two books: The Future of Radio (1992) and La convergence, c'est le code[1] (2003).

In 2004, Bellanger helped to spearhead the French government's introduction of the Dispositif Alerte-Enlèvement, modeled on the North American AMBER Alert systems.
