The former CEO of Fendi, Serge Brunschwig, announced his farewell to LVMH. The experienced top manager informed the news last weekend via the LinkedIn career network. With his departure, Brunschwig ends an impressive, almost thirty -year career within the luxury group.
By June 2024, Brunzwig was CEO from Fendi for six years before he was replaced by Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou. At that time, LVMH announced that he would take on “another task within the group”, but now it turns out that he finally leaves the company.
A career characterized by iconic names
Brunzwig looks back on a long career within LVMH. Before he took over Fendi, he worked for Christian Dior for almost ten years, where he recently acted as President of Dior Homme. Before that, he held the role of CEO at Celine after he had previously been General Director at Louis Vuitton. He also stood as a CEO at the head of Sephora.
His introduction to the world of luxury began in 1992 when he was a consultant LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault. In his LinkedIn contribution, he remembers this time: “My job was to support him in the restructuring of the champagne division after the first Gulf War crisis. The past almost thirty years have been an extraordinary journey through the iconic brands of LVMH: Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, Sephora and Celine. “
Praised by colleagues
In his farewell message, Brunschwig thanks the executives who have accompanied him over the years. Among other things, he calls Yves Carcelle (1948-2014) and the former group board member of LVMH, Toni Belloni. He also expresses his recognition for Arnault, for the “always demanding trust” that he had shown to him, as he writes about LinkedIn.
His announcement was received by industry colleagues, including Sebastiaan Baudru (Managing Director of Christian Dior Couture) and Michael Schriver (Group President LVMH North Asia).
Brunschwig has not yet announced any information about his future plans, but with his extensive experience and strategic foresight, he could undoubtedly continue to play an important role in the luxury industry.
