LVMH names Amandine Ohayon as new CEO at Givenchy

LVMH has appointed Amandine Ohayon to be the new CEO of the house of Givenchy, effective from this Friday, January 9th, 2026.
 

Ohayon succeeds Alessandro Valenti, and will report to Pietro Beccari, Chairman & CEO of the LVMH Fashion Group and Chairman & CEO of Louis Vuitton.

“With her unique ability to collaborate with the most creative talents, coupled with her inclusive leadership and retail expertise, I am convinced Amandine will play a pivotal role in further accelerating the new growth chapter of Givenchy, the iconic French Haute Couture Maison,” commented Pietro Beccari in a release.

Valenti will move sideways to become the Deputy Managing Director in charge of commercial activities at Christian Dior Couture, as of January 12th, 2026. After a decade at Louis Vuitton, Valenti joined Givenchy in July 2024,  following the arrival of Sarah Burton as the house’s new creative director.

 
Sidney Toledano, the departing CEO of LVMH’s Fashion Group, expressed his gratitude for Valenti’s contributions to Givenchy: “Alessandro demonstrated exceptional determination and efficiency in managing Givenchy’s transitional phase. As a result, the company is now optimally positioned to leverage its reshaped organization, thereby facilitating future growth. I am very pleased to see Amandine join Givenchy and continue the development of this ambitious project, alongside Sarah Burton.”
 
In his new role, Valenti will report to Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou, Deputy CEO of Christian Dior Couture, and join its executive committee.
 
“I am confident that Alessandro will make a significant contribution to our retail and digital performance, thanks to his vision, his experience within the Group, and his ability to engage teams in addressing business challenges, at this particularly exciting and ambitious time for Christian Dior Couture,” added Angeloglo.
