The Veteran Luxury Executive Takes on the New Role After Serving as CFO at Maison Ferrand
Kering Beauté has announced the appointment of Stéphane Perrault as its new chief financial officer. Perrault, a luxury industry veteran, joins Kering Beauté from Maison Ferrand, where he held the role of group CFO at the French spirits maker.
Before his tenure at Maison Ferrand, Perrault served as CFO at La Bouche Rouge, an eco-luxury beauty brand, and at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions on a freelance basis. He also worked as CFO Europe, Middle East, and Africa and global CFO fragrances at Shiseido from 2016 to 2019.
“I am pleased to announce that I am starting a new position as chief financial officer at Kering Beauté,” Perrault shared on his personal LinkedIn page.
Earlier this year, Alexandre Choueiri was appointed as the new president and chief executive officer for the Americas at Kering Beauté, reaffirming the company’s expanding strategic commitment to the beauty market in the region. Despite challenges in the luxury market, beauty remains a bright spot for Kering, with the company focusing on bringing beauty licenses in-house for several brands within the group.
Looking ahead, Kering has plans to introduce a high-end fragrance range for Bottega Veneta, followed by perfumes for Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen in 2025.
