Rénier was appointed as CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre in 2018.
Commenting on Catherine Rénier’s appointment, Nicolas Bos, CEO of Richemont said, “I am delighted that Catherine will be taking on the role of CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, after 6 years at the helm of Jaeger-LeCoultre where she built a strong leadership team and a clear and differentiated positioning for the Maison, which has been foundational to its success during her tenure.
Catherine brings the perfect mix of experience and leadership skills to the role, which, coupled with her deep knowledge of the Maison, will enable her to ensure Van Cleef & Arpels long-term success.”
