The new World CEO of Chanel, Leena Nair
A woman at the head of Chanel
The history of the Home Chanel, now a giant in the world of luxury, began in 1910 when Gabrielle Chanel opens its first hat store under the name “Chanel Fashions » rue Cambon. In 1932, Coco Chanel released its very first collection of fine jewelry called “Jewelry of Diamonds” but it was not until 1993 that the House truly launched its jewelry line.
Today, it is once again a woman who finds herself at the head of the company. After an exemplary career within the retail giant Unilever, Leena Nair is leaving her position as director of human resources and the 150,000 employees she supervised, to become, since January 2022, the new World CEO of Chanel. Also a member of British Telecom, the board of directors of a funding fund for university research and a non-executive director in the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the English government, this British of Indian origin has already proven.
Recognized for her efficiency and fair management, the new CEO will have to take on a major challenge: making the House's numerous investments profitable while respecting its values and developing its positive impact while maintaining its growth. Nothing is impossible for this progressive leader.
