Fashion career profile

Frédéric Arnault

Frédéric Arnault is a French luxury executive and graduate of École Polytechnique. He began his career at McKinsey and Facebook’s artificial-intelligence research centre before joining TAG Heuer in 2017 to manage smartwatch activities. He became the watch house’s Chief Strategy and Digital Officer in 2018 and its CEO in 2020. In January 2024 he was appointed CEO of LVMH Watches, with responsibility across Hublot, TAG Heuer and Zenith. LVMH appointed him CEO of Loro Piana effective June 10, 2025. His current role is a house-level executive appointment at Loro Piana; his earlier watch-division remit belonged to the parent group and several watch maisons, not to Loro Piana. The profile keeps those scopes distinct and does not attribute consolidated LVMH or watch-division figures to the individual house. His career illustrates a progression from digital product work to brand and portfolio leadership.
