Delvaux appoints former Cartier executive as new CEO

Delvaux has appointed Cartier veteran Yanina Novitskaya as CEO, effective December 1. The Belgian leather goods brand is thus parting ways with CEO Jean-Marc Loubier, who spearheaded a relaunch and, above all, global expansion in the 2010s.

Long in the making

Parent company Richemont is promoting Yanina Novitskaya to the top position: the executive is joining from Cartier and will be based in Brussels, where she will report to Philippe Fortunato, CEO of the group’s fashion and accessories houses. She succeeds Jean-Marc Loubier, who will leave Delvaux at the end of the year following a handover period.
