Alexandre Arnault, executive vice president of Product, Communications and Industrial at Tiffany and Co has stepped down from his role following the latest LVMH leadership reshuffle.
Arnault has now been appointed as deputy CEO of the group’s Wines and Spirits division.
He began his career in the United States, first in strategy consulting with McKinsey&Co and subsequently in private equity with KKR in New York.
He then joined LVMH and Afache, where he focussed on digital innovation and investment in the technology sector.
Arnault oversaw and started the acquisition of Rimova by LVMH. In 2021, he stepped into the role of executive vice president of Product, Communications and Industrial at Tiffany and Co.
In a LinkedIn post, Arnault said: “Four years ago, I had the privilege to help reimagine Tiffany & Co., one of the world’s most iconic brands. Looking back, I am profoundly grateful to the remarkable Tiffany teams and friends of the brand who poured their passion and talent into this journey, helping us push boundaries and bring a new vision to life. Together, we’ve achieved milestones that I will carry with immense pride.
“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. Being part of this family has been an honour I will cherish forever.”
He added: “After four transformative years in Fashion and Leather Goods with Rimowa and these last four in Watch & Jewelry with Tiffany & Co. I’m excited to step into a new chapter within LVMH’s Wines and Spirits division, embracing this foundational part of our Group’s heritage. My heart, however, will forever remain a shade of Tiffany blue—these years have shaped the person and leader I am today.”
