LVMH has announced yet another CEO shuffle within the company that now names Frédéric Arnault the new CEO of Loro Piana.
The new role sees 29-year-old Frédéric, who is one of five children of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, take on the position for group’s crucial Italian luxury brand. Prior to this, Arnault was a graduate of France’s École Polytechnique and spent six years at TAG Heuer before rising to CEO of the group’s watch division in 2024. LVMH’s statement said of Frédéric, ““His purposeful vision for the watchmaking industry anchored in quality and savoir-faire have proven to be strategic assets for the group. He also played a key role in developing the global partnership between LVMH and Formula 1.” Frédéric’s track recrod includes the acquisition of L’Épée 1839, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of high-end clocks, while also building on LVMH’s decade-long partnership with Tag Heuer in F1 and strengthening LVMH Watch Week. He will begin his role as CEO of Loro Piana starting on March 26 for a period of transition with Damien Bertrand.
Bertrand has now been named deputy CEO of Louis Vuitton, effective June 10, 2025. He will be reporting to Louis Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari and is set to oversee product creation and development, brand image and communication as well as industrial activities. He becomes a member of LVMH’s executive committee beginning in 2026. Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou has now been appointed deputy CEO of Dior, reporting to chairman and CEO Delphine Arnault. He is currently managing director of the LVMH Fashion Group overseeing brands including Kenzo, Pucci and Patou and CEO of Fendi.
Bernard Arnault said in a statement regarding the changes, “Our maisons’ desirability is fuelled by dedicated and passionate leaders. Damien, Frédéric and Pierre-Emmanuel’s vision, entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and commitment to excellence will be assets to pursue the dynamic development of our maisons. These three nominations also reflect our group’s ability to craft careers.”
