Early life and education
editBorn August 20, 1945, in post-war Bucarest, José Eisenberg comes from a long line of textile manufacturers.[1] He is the only son of Sally and Marcel Eisenberg.
He spent his childhood in Romania during the communist post-war era.[2] His family's homes, businesses, and possessions were confiscated by the new political regime.[3]
At age 13, he left school and held several jobs: newspaper deliveryman, poster maker, and handyman in workshops which still employed Renaissance art-making techniques.[4]
Entrepreneurship
editAt age 21, José Eisenberg established his own fashion design studio and factory in Florence, Italy.[5] He designed his own creations and produced collections for known fashion names. He is a pioneer of the democratisation of fashion in Europe. In 1972, Italy awarded him honorary citizenship for his immense contribution to the industrialisation of the Basilicata region.[6]
Without abandoning his fashion design roots, José Eisenberg embarked on his second entrepreneurial project in 1974, investing time, energy and resources into artificial intelligence[broken anchor] research, still in its infancy at the time.[7] He founded JE Contrex in Boston, recruiting graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[8] Though JE Contrex was able to successfully develop a functioning artificial eye, work had to be abandoned due to the slow processing speed of the era's computers.[citation needed]
In 1976, he launched a second technology company, Eisenberg Data Systems (E.D.S.). E.D.S developed and marketed computers, including one with a detachable keyboard.[9]
Eisenberg Paris
editIn 1985, José Eisenberg entered the beauty industry. [10][11]
In 2000, Eisenberg launched his brand, José Eisenberg Paris, shortening the brand's name to Eisenberg the following year.[12]
José Eisenberg remains involved in the day-to-day operations of the brand.[13][14] In addition to skincare products, he has also created two perfume collections and a range of smart cosmetics which infuse make-up with skincare benefits, providing a single-step ‘make-care’ solution.[15]
Personal life
editJosé Eisenberg has three children, two daughters and a son.
His son, Edmond, joined Eisenberg Paris in 2011.[16] Together, they steer the direction of the brand's product development and global development strategies.[17] Edmond Eisenberg has said:[18]
Eisenberg is primarily a family business. This allows us to remain faithful to my father's authentic vision, to his values, and to be free and independent to maintain our authenticity.
