Beccari rises to take LVMH Fashion Group’s top role
LVMH Fashion Group’s CEO and chairman Sidney Toledano is stepping down, and will be replaced by Pietro Beccari (pictured).
Mr Beccari joined LVMH as executive vice-president of marketing and communications for Louis Vuitton before becoming chairman and CEO of Fendi in 2012.
In 2018, he became chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, and chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton in 2023 – a role he will retain.
Damien Bertrand, deputy CEO of Louis Vuitton, will become a member of the LVMH executive committee.
Group owner Bernard Arnault said: “I would like to warmly thank Sidney Toledano, who has been by my side for over 30 years and has always been present, in all circumstances, with determination, talent and loyalty. He will remain my special advisor.
“After a rich decade of leading Dior and Louis Vuitton, I am delighted that Pietro Beccari has also agreed to bring his expertise to the LVMH Fashion Group Maisons. Pietro is a great leader and a unique talent with boundless energy. He knows how to surround himself with talents and develop them to prepare the future of the maisons.”
