LVMH appoints Michael Burke to lead Americas arm
Luxury conglomerate LVMH has appointed Michael Burke as Chairman and CEO of its newly created Americas division, aimed at accelerating growth across North and South America. Burke will also serve as Non-Executive Chairman of Tiffany & Co, the iconic U.S. jeweler acquired by LVMH in 2021. The Americas accounted for 25% of LVMH’s total revenue in 2024, contributing to the group’s 84.7 billion euros ($91.7 billion) in annual sales — underscoring the region’s significant growth potential. A long-time confidant of LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault, Burke previously led Louis Vuitton, where he tripled revenue and quadrupled profitability.
