He not only directed a lot of their movies, he supervised their other directors. By 1906 he was Pathe's managing director. In 1913, he was sent to America to manage the company's branch. He returned to France in 1919 and managed the Pathe-Baby division (home equipment and exhibition) until his retirement in 1939. He died in 1947.
