I “navigate” an industry were aesthetic beauty is a fundamental part of what we offer, beauty, function and technological advances. We do so in the Retail field, so we package, present, and narrate those key points. As our goal is to maximize returns, we need to run our Teams in a smoothly coreoghaphed performance, extracted by building trust, esprit d’equipe, happiness and engagement. I am a passionate lover of sailing, and the America’s Cup is the epitome of sailing. Beauty, technology, teamwork, precision, passion…..all plainly visible and admirable through your eyes So, when I look at Luna Rossa, I see similarities with my duties and the industry I perform in. Technology makes them fly, precision makes them hold flight and race, teamwork makes them win, and beauty is what they handle Find your passions, see the beauty in them, build precision on experience…..you’re the Captain, love your Boat .

Here is a casual trip to the Champs Elysées: - I have the chance to take a beautiful, scenic trip on the Parisian M6, offering a ‘postcard moment’ with the Iron Lady. - Getting off at Charles de Gaulle-Étoile provides an excellent opportunity for a leisurely walk along the avenue. - One can admire the stunning storefronts of luxury brands. - The flagship stores of popular sports brands are also a highlight along the way. - There are numerous restaurants and coffee shops perfect for savoring a Parisian moment. This year, however, has been exceptional. The avenue is unusually calm, with fewer tourists and international shoppers. As Parisian retailers and service providers were expecting the busiest times, because of the Olympic Games, they were expecting an important flow of tourists and shoppers. Having taken the time to talk to many members working in retail and hospitality, they all agreed that the situation is not ideal and that results are not close to what they have expected or even compared to previous years. What went wrong? 🙂↔️Drop your opinion below! #topretailexpert #realretail #retailenvironment #customerexperience #olympics #jo2024 #retailconsulting

The successful execution of the Olympics relies on an intricate web of supply chains, from the athletes' villages to transport, events, food and beverage (F&B), and hospitality.

Luxury in the Arena: LVMH’s Historic €150 Million Investment in the 2024 Olympics The economic benefits of hosting the Olympics and major sporting events are well understood, so how does luxury interact with sporting events? One of the leading examples bringing focus to this issue today is the significant investment LVMH has committed to the upcoming 2024 Olympics: a jaw-dropping 150 million euros. This figure is already impressive, even for Bernard Arnault, one of the wealthiest people in the world. This is a strategic plan, with the expectation that the amount will double, if not triple, under Arnault's business acumen. Check our the full article: https://lnkd.in/gSEi_54s

Good Morning LinkedIn Network, Corporate involvement vis-a-vis the International Olympic Committee – IOC needs to be heard from a French Citizen regarding the next generation of corporate leaders, and the future of the games : See below translation from Eric Briones Original Post : Why is Antoine Arnault the big winner of the Olympics? IL EST HUITOR, MONSEIGNOR I still remember the day of the presentation of the partnership between LVMH and the Olympics Paris 2024 at the Grand Palais Éphémère, more than a year ago. The atmosphere was not celebratory, and many people wondered what trouble LVMH had gotten itself into by becoming an official partner of games already contaminated by a very French "spirit of defeat". Today, it's quite the opposite: the LVMH group has achieved a resounding corporate success during these 15 magical days of the Paris Olympics. One man embodies this success: Antoine Arnault. Here are my 4 reasons: I. A mobilization without commercial recuperation: Antoine Arnault has been able to put the Olympics at the center of the LVMH village, mobilizing each house of the group without ever falling into basic commercial recuperation. Where others, such as Ralph Lauren, are already preparing for Los Angeles 2028 with logomania and American flag marketing. Antoine Arnault showed empathy for the event, integrating luxury without stifling it. II. A corporate strategy in perfect resonance: With Hélène Freyss, Antoine Arnault orchestrated a corporate discourse that resonated with the spirit of Paris 2024. Know-how, excellence, creativity, universality and Frenchness were on the agenda, while relying on the value of resilience inherent in sport, essential to navigate the slowdown that the luxury industry is experiencing. III. The soft power of French houses: The opening and closing ceremonies were marked by the soft power of the houses of Christian Dior Couture Louis Vuitton and CELINE dressing the performances of the biggest celebrities. These cultural moments, immortalized in our hearts, where Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Phoenix, Zaho and others shone, are a testament to the understated but powerful influence of LVMH. The benevolent presence of Daphné Bürki, who is close to the group, has only amplified this impact. Not to mention leaving a place for young independent houses, such as Coperni or Kévin Germanier. IV. A keen sense of business: In 2024, sport has become an essential vector for the expansion of the luxury sector. Antoine Arnault understood this and positioned LVMH at the heart of this equation, adding sport to the winning formula FAMES (Fashion + Art + Music + Entertainment + Sport). LVMH also found the Olympics the best stage for its hospitality ambitions, offering VICs (Very Important Clients) a front-row seat to the Olympic magic. For all these reasons, Antoine Arnault has not only won the Paris 2024 Olympics, he has also taken a step ahead in another great competition: that of the future of LVMH #Paris24❤️
