Okay, so I’ve been digging into this Louis Vuitton technology thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride! I started out just wanting to find out who their Chief Information Officer (CIO) is. You’d think that’d be simple, right? Wrong!
First, I headed over to LinkedIn, because where else do you go to find professional info? I typed in “Louis Vuitton CIO” and a bunch of names popped up. I saw “Daniel Jadczak” associated with LVMH, which is the parent company of Louis Vuitton, so I figured that might be a good place to start.
Then I started thinking about the bigger picture. Who’s running the show at Louis Vuitton anyway? That’s when I stumbled upon Bernard Arnault’s name – he’s the CEO and Chairman of the whole LVMH empire. Fancy, huh?
But my search didn’t stop there. I wanted to know more about the tech side of things. I found some articles talking about LVMH’s need for tech talent. I read about this guy, Frank le Moal, who’s the Group Information Technology Director. He was talking about needing folks for “omnichannel” and “e-commerce”. Seems like they’re really pushing the online stuff, which makes sense.
- I kept digging and found some drama!
- Apparently, there was this Chief Digital Officer named Ian Rogers who left, and they created a new role called “Chief Omnichannel Officer”.
- They filled that position with Michael David, who used to be at Louis Vuitton.
This whole thing is like a soap opera. Found an article from way back in 2015 that hinted at some surprise moves in the company. Lots of shake-ups it seems.
So, to finally answer the question about the CIO, after all that, here’s where we are.
My Conclusion
It looks like Michael David is a big deal in the tech strategy, especially with this whole “omnichannel” thing. Daniel Jadczak at LVMH may or may not be the CIO, but he surely plays a key role. There seems to be no one holding the title of “CIO” at Louis Vuitton or LVMH at the time. But with all those changes, who knows for sure? I guess the main takeaway is that Louis Vuitton and LVMH are really investing in tech, and it’s a constantly evolving situation. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any updates, but for now, that’s the scoop!
