Richemont succession plan “This division of responsibilities reflects the Board’s commitment to robust governance and to ensuring that both the group’s strategic priorities and its governance obligations receive dedicated attention at non-executive co-deputy chairman level,” said Richemont.

The Board of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA has appointed 39-year-old Anton Rupert as non-executive co-deputy chairman, serving alongside Bram Schot, non-executive co-deputy chairman.“Having Anton and Bram serve together as non-executive co-deputy chairmen ensures that each of these foundations is given the attention it deserves: Anton will continue to safeguard the creative and product priorities that define our Maisons, while Bram will ensure that our governance remains of the highest standard.
