Luxury goods company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has announced leadership changes at flagship brands Louis Vuitton and Dior. LMVH CEO Bernard Arnault’s daughter Delphine Arnault is taking over as the CEO of Dior, replacing Pietro Beccari. Pietro Beccari will replace Michael Burke as CEO of Louis Vuitton, who has remained within the luxury goods conglomerate as a member of the LMVH Executive Committee.
The reshuffle comes amid a continued boom in the luxury fashion sector. Although many analysts felt that post-pandemic luxury spending would be an anomaly in 2021, similar spending patterns were seen throughout 2022. Despite an uncertain economic backdrop, LMVH’s largest brands, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, have consistently grown following the pandemic. This growth has reflected a growing gap between luxury goods spending as opposed to consumer patterns in the wider economy.
This sector-specific growth has seen Bernard Arnault overtake Elon Musk as the world’s person. The corporate reshuffle will take effect from February 1st, with all parties involved remaining with LMVH. Delphine Arnault previously worked in an executive role at Louis Vuitton, where Bernard Arnault commended her leadership as a key component of the company’s growth.
Pietro Beccari’s five-year tenure as head of Dior has seen the fashion house achieve similar success. The leadership changes will see personnel continuity within the wider business whilst providing a new approach for the individual roles. As increased market activity is seen in China following lockdowns throughout 2022, it is expected that this will offer continued stability for LMVH, which controls 75 brands in total.
On leaving his role as CEO of Louis Vuitton, Michael Burke will take on a role working closely with Bernard Arnault. Having joined Groupe Arnault in the 80s, Burke has worked in various executive roles within LMVH’s brands, including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Bulgari and Tiffany. Citi analyst Thomas Chauvet highlighted the importance of succession planning within LMVH over the last two decades, with the most recent moves forming a key component of this continuous process.
