Galeries Lafayette appoints Arthur Lemoine into the role of CEO.
He takes up his new position with effect from July 7 and thus follows Nicolas Houzé, CEO of the French department store group.
Lemoine came to the lower company as a buyer for the perfumery department and the Department of Stores BHV Marais. Three years later, he took over the management of this department. In 2015 he was appointed Director of the Food and Gastronomy area. In this function, he directed Eataly Paris Marais, an Italian delicatessen. Three years later, he took over the chair of the Watches and Jewelry area of the Galeries Lafayette. In 2021 he was appointed Buying Director and became part of the management.
Lemoine is now to accompany the company’s “new development phase”. He is to “expand the leading position of the department stores and the radiation of the brand in France and beyond the borders, both in the flagship stores and online.”
“After more than ten years, which were characterized by numerous changes and challenges, the Galeries Lafayette are ready to open a new chapter under the direction of Arthur Lemoine,” said Houzé. “Arthur knows the company’s challenges and goals. His strategic foresight, its ability to combine people, and his knowledge of the fashion and trade industry make him the ideal candidate to promote this new dynamic.”
