In her new role, Dubin succeeds Giuseppe Oliveri, who is leaving the brand to explore opportunities outside of parent company LVMH Group. A luxury industry veteran, Dubin joined Fendi in January 2019 after working at Louis Vuitton Americas as senior vice president of merchandising.
Before her time at Louis Vuitton, Dubin held positions at Gilt Groupe Japan, Coach, Ralph Lauren, and Bergdorf Goodman. Valentina Lucaj will be replacing Dubin as Fendi Americas president, starting September 16. Lucaj, who also comes from Louis Vuitton with experience as vice president of merchandising, will be based in New York and will report to Dubin.
These leadership changes follow Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou’s appointment as CEO of Fendi earlier this year. Angeloglou, who took on the role on June 1, also serves as CEO of the LVMH Fashion Group, of which Fendi is a member.
