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.

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.”
