LVMH Names Long-Time Arnault Associate to Fix Americas Unit

LVMH named Michael Burke to head its Americas operations, bringing back an old-time fixer to take on some of the biggest challenges the group has faced in the region.

Burke, 68, who has worked with Chief Executive Officer Bernard Arnault since the billionaire’s early days in the 1980s, will oversee operations in North and South America, reporting directly to LVMH Group Managing Director Stephane Bianchi, the luxury conglomerate said in an internal memo. He will also become the non-executive chairman of the US jeweler Tiffany & Co. that LVMH bought in 2021.
