The Chinese fashion group Lanvin Group has to fill a key position. On Friday, the parent company of the Lanvin, Wolford, Sergio Rossi, St. John Knits and Caruso brands announced that Executive President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) David Chan will leave his post on October 27, 2025. The company explained that he wanted to devote himself to new professional challenges.

Chan joined the group when it was founded and, according to the statement, has since been “significantly involved in strengthening the strategic and financial basis of the Lanvin Group”. He led the group’s transformation into a global luxury platform and pushed forward the IPO in New York.

Chairman Zhen Huang paid tribute to the outgoing CFO: “On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire Lanvin Group team, I would like to express our sincere thanks to David for his commitment and leadership over the past few years. His significant contributions have been crucial in shaping the Group’s strategic direction and transformation efforts. We wish him continued success in his future endeavors.”

According to its own statements, the company has launched a “structured transition plan” to ensure continuity in the financial area and operational business. Chan may continue to support the company in an advisory capacity, according to a statement.

Chan reiterated his confidence in the group’s development, saying: “I am proud to have contributed to building a strong strategic and financial foundation. I have supported the transformation of our global luxury platform and driven initiatives that position the group for sustainable growth,” he said in a statement. “I remain confident about the future of Lanvin Group as it continues to create value for its stakeholders and expand its global presence.”
