The Servan-Schreiber family comes from Prussian Jews who emigrated to France in 1877. He had a sister, Marie-Claire, who later married the Prime Minister Pierre Mendès France . The journalist and politician Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber was his cousin. From 1927 to 1934 he attended the Lycée Janson de Sailly .

Although he converted to Catholicism during the war, he was forced to leave the army under the Vichy regime because of his Jewish origins. After the German Wehrmacht marched into the “Free Zone” of southern France in November 1942, he fled to Spain, where he was interned in a concentration camp.

After the war, he worked as the commercial director of Les Échos from 1947 , where he took over his father's directorial role in 1958 until the newspaper was sold in 1963. In addition, he and his cousin Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber contributed to the founding of L'Express in 1953 , which at the time was to be the political complement to Les Échos .

In the 1967 parliamentary elections , Servan-Schreiber joined the 3rd constituency of the Saône-et-Loire department and lost in the second round to the incumbent MP Gabriel Bouthière . In the parliamentary elections in 1968 he entered the 3rd constituency of the Nièvre department for the Union pour la defense de la Republique (UDR) and lost in the second round to the incumbent MP François Mitterrand . In the 1973 parliamentary elections , he joined the 1st constituency of the Gard department for the Union des républicains de progrès (URP).
