Sustainability is non-negotiable for Chanel; we aim to reduce carbon emissions and invest in circularity, creating upcycled products and promoting women's autonomy in our value chain.

I envision Chanel as a beacon of inspiration for the next 100 years, continuing Gabrielle Chanel's legacy of liberating women and making a positive impact in the world by investing in human skills and craftsmanship.

When Chanel approached me, I was shocked and initially resistant, but after much reflection, I realized it was an opportunity I couldn't ignore. I was compelled to join Chanel because it's the most iconic brand, followed on all Western media platforms, and has a legendary founder, Gabrielle Chanel, who created revolutionary designs for women.

At Chanel, I experience a variety of roles, from fashion to being the world's largest fragrance maker and the second largest makeup maker, making every day a new challenge.

The Chanel Foundation supports women and girls globally, focusing on safety, economic autonomy, and climate resilience, with projects like Radio Begum in Afghanistan providing education to girls.

In my first months at Chanel, I focused on understanding the craftsmanship and stories behind our products, which helped me adapt to the luxury mindset that values rarity and artistry.

I think China remains a big opportunity for investment, despite the added risks involved.

Founders should think long-term about their commitment to the company. Those who plan for the long haul have a significant advantage over those who only consider short-term goals.

China is reinvesting funds into industrial capacity, particularly in areas like microchips, aiming to build chips that could surpass Nvidia's technology within the next 6 to 8 years.
