Change of chief executive at Lanvin Group
13/12/2023
Chinese group Fosun International became Lanvin’s majority shareholder in 2018 and set up The Lanvin Group.
Fosun’s deputy chief financial officer at the time, Joann Cheng, became the Lanvin Group’s first chief executive and went on to lead its acquisition of Italian footwear brand Sergio Rossi in 2021 and to establish its corporate headquarters in Shanghai.
Now Ms Cheng has decided to leave the role to take up a new opportunity outside the group.
The group announced Eric Chan as its new chief executive on December 7. Mr Chen has more than 30 years’ experience in senior roles in high-end retail and hospitality.
