Stéphane Rinderknech, after successfully leading the expansion of LVMH Hospitality and the Beauty Division, has decided to leave the Group to pursue new personal projects.

Stéphane Bianchi, Managing Director of the LVMH Group, stated,

“Since joining the Group, Stéphane Rinderknech has greatly contributed to the growth of our hospitality division before bringing his recognized expertise to the beauty business. I am thankful for his contribution and results; and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
