Commenting on the changes, Nicolas Bos said:

"Catherine’s and Louis’ combined industry and Group experience, together with their operational knowledge and expertise as CEOs of our largest Maisons, will be a great asset to our Senior Executive Committee. I am also delighted that Marie-Aude is joining the SEC as our newly appointed Chief People Officer. Having a dedicated CPO will help ensure that our growing and fast evolving HR strategic resource management needs are effectively fulfilled. Marie-Aude is ideally placed to take on this mission, as she brings a wealth of highly relevant experience gained in the course of her career.
