Chanel’s finances go to Hélène de Tissot from Pernod Ricard
She starts in October, arriving from the CFO role at the drinks giant. Mauve Croizat takes her place at Pernod Ricard.
Chanel will appoint Hélène de Tissot as its new chief financial officer, starting in October.
De Tissot joins from Pernod Ricard, where she was CFO. At the drinks company, Mauve Croizat takes the job in October.
The appointment comes as the house returns to growth: Chanel’s 2025 revenue rose 2% in currency-adjusted terms to $19.3 billion, with operating profit up 5% to $4.7 billion. Philippe Blondiaux had held the CFO role until now.
This year Chanel plans to open 30 stores, including nine fashion boutiques, and to raise prices by roughly the same amount as last year — 3% overall and 2% on fashion products.
