Alexandre Arnault, current executive vice president of product, communications, and industrial at Tiffany & Co., is set to leave his role to become deputy CEO of LVMH’s Wines and Spirits division, Moët Hennessy.
This transition will take effect on 1 February 2025, as part of a larger executive reshuffle within the luxury conglomerate.
A Legacy at Tiffany & Co.
Arnault joined Tiffany & Co. in 2021 following LVMH’s acquisition and oversaw initiatives to modernise the brand’s offerings and global messaging.
Reflecting on his tenure at Tiffany, Arnault stated in a social media post:
“Four years ago, I had the privilege to help reimagine Tiffany & Co., one of the world’s most iconic brands. From our innovations in product to redefining the Tiffany message through bold marketing and cultural initiatives, each project was a reminder of why Tiffany & Co. is a brand unlike any other. … My heart will forever remain a shade of Tiffany blue – these years have shaped the person and leader I am today.”
Arnault’s successor at Tiffany has not been announced, leaving an open question about the future leadership of the EVP role.
Leadership Changes Across LVMH
Arnault’s appointment coincides with several high-profile changes within LVMH. Jean-Jacques Guiony, currently LVMH’s chief financial officer, will take over as president and CEO of the Wines and Spirits division. Guiony’s CFO role will be filled by Cécile Cabanis, a member of the LVMH executive committee.
Additional appointments include Maud Alvarez-Pereyre as executive vice president for human resources, effective December 2024, and Guillaume Motte, president and CEO of Sephora, who will join the executive committee in January 2025.
