47-year old Delphine Arnault was appointed by Mr. Arnault as part of a reshuffle at LVMH, the most valuable company in Europe.

According to BBC:

It owns a portfolio of high-end brands including Fendi and Louis Vuitton and is worth about £336bn.

All five of Mr Arnault’s children hold management positions at brands in the group

Pietro Beccari, the outgoing head of Dior, will move to replace Michael Burke, the long-time Louis Vuitton Chief.

Ms Arnault and Mr. Beccari are both “well respected”, so these are “logical promotions within the group”, Credit Suisse analyst Natasha Brilliant said.
