He played an active part in integrating iconic brands, such as Christian Lacroix, Kenzo, Loewe 1 into the “LVMH Fashion Group US”, and was actively involved with the integration and restructuring of the Donna Karan International brand. This American interlude is a marker of his career. 

He then contributed to developing Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs and successfully opened the brand’s European office, which he headed for three years from 2004 to 2007. 

An adept and respectful negotiator, his expertise in finance, combined with a passion for commercial development and the conquest of international markets gives him a global perspective and a great openness to the world.

My executive board is made up of talented, strong, loyal and committed teamplayers. Together, we are building an ambitious and sustainable future”. He makes a point of honor of transmitting skills and knowledge and encouraging the growth of the talent around him. 

In addition, infused with a deep passion for the entrepreneurial spirit, a business angel at heart, he invests into several ventures and participates as a Board Member of “Moon Venture”, a club of investors whose ambition is to finance and accompany innovative and high-potential startups.
