Bottega Veneta Promotes Thierry Conrad Reutenauer to Global Communications Director
Bottega Veneta has announced the promotion of Thierry Conrad Reutenauer to the position of global communications director. In a press release, the Kering-owned luxury label stated that Reutenauer will assume his new role on June 20.
Reutenauer, 37, joined Bottega Veneta in April 2020 and has since climbed the ranks within the organization. Reporting to Samuel Diep, the brand’s chief merchandising and marketing officer, Reutenauer will now oversee the brand’s worldwide PR and communication efforts following the departure of Creative Director Daniel Lee and the appointment of Matthieu Blazy.
Prior to his current role, Reutenauer served as the senior PR manager at Bottega Veneta, later taking on the responsibility for global PR at the luxury label. With a background in media, corporate communications, and institutional affairs from the applied sciences university in Utrecht, the Netherlands, Reutenauer began his career at the Karla Otto agency in Paris.
Before joining Bottega Veneta, Reutenauer worked at Chloé as the head of PR, events, and celebrity relations from 2014 to 2020 under creative directors Clare Waight Keller and Natacha Ramsay-Levi. Bottega Veneta has been under the leadership of CEO Bartolomeo Rongone since September 2019, following the tenure of Claus-Dietrich Lahrs.
