Frederic Arnault

Frédéric Arnault, son of Bernard Arnault, is the CEO of Loro Piana, the Italian luxury brand renowned for its fine cashmere. He will join the company on March 26, 2025, for a transitional period alongside outgoing CEO Damien Bertrand, reporting to Toni Belloni, chairman of LVMH Italy. This move follows his impactful tenure as CEO of LVMH Watches—a newly created role that put him in charge of TAG Heuer, Hublot, and Zenith. Arnault’s journey in the luxury sector began in 2017 when he joined TAG Heuer to lead its smartwatch division. By 2020, at just 25, he had risen to CEO of TAG Heuer. He modernized the brand with high-tech smartwatches, reimagined classics like the Glassbox Carrera, and introduced lab-grown diamonds to LVMH’s haute horology—a first for the conglomerate. His marketing acumen revived TAG Heuer’s cultural relevance for the next generation of watch enthusiasts, bringing in A-list ambassadors like Ryan Gosling, Patrick Dempsey, and Jacob Elordi. A graduate of École Polytechnique—France’s leading science and technology university, like his father—Arnault holds a degree in applied mathematics and computer science.
