Gucci has named Christophe Marque as its new president and CEO of Gucci Americas, effective April 1, according to WWD.
Marque, who brings 25 years of experience in brand, merchandising, and retail management, will report to Cayetano Fabry, Gucci’s chief commercial officer. Fabry, a former Saint Laurent executive, assumed his role last August as part of CEO Stefano Cantino’s strategic overhaul.
Marque succeeds Federico Turconi, who exited Gucci last October to become CEO of the SA Hospitality Group.
The appointment is part of Cantino’s broader efforts to streamline operations and sharpen decision-making as Gucci continues its turnaround strategy.
Most recently, Marque was with DFS Group, an LVMH subsidiary, where he served as president of global merchandising and previously held the role of executive vice president of marketing.
His career began at L’Oréal Luxe, where he held key roles across Europe and Asia for luxury brands such as Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, and Giorgio Armani. He later joined Hermès as general manager for Fragrances France & Benelux, establishing their first beauty subsidiaries.
