With Alexis Nasard as the new CEO, we are very pleased to have been able to select a highly experienced and transformational leadership personality who is capable of leading Swarovski in the affirmation of its iconic luxury heritage and through its business transformation.” Michele Molon, Swarovski’s interim leader for the past nine months of the leadership transition, is appointed to the newly established key position of Chief Commercial Officer.
