Richemont rearanges its helm. The head of fashion of the Swiss holding, owner of brands like Cartier, Ynap or Baume&Mercier, will leave his position in the company next October.

Between 2012 and 2018, the executive worked in EPI Group and Remy Cointreau and in June 2018 joined Richemont as head of fashion and accessories.

The group closed its fiscal year 2018 with a net benefit of 2.7 million euros. Sales of Richemont, on the other half, rose 27%, up to 13.9 million euros.
