LONDON — Richemont has taken a further step in its succession strategy, naming Anton Rupert, son of the company’s founder, chairman and shareholder of reference Johann Rupert, as non-executive co-deputy chairman of the board.
The younger Rupert will take up the role with immediate effect and serve alongside Bram Schot, who was named non-executive co-deputy chairman in 2024. Following Richemont‘s annual general meeting this week, Richemont said the two deputy chairmen would have “complementary” remits.
Anton Rupert will oversee matters relating to the Richemont maisons’ strategic product and communications committee, “ensuring continuity in an area of central importance to the group’s creative and commercial direction.”
Schot will assume responsibility for board and committee-related governance matters, including the coordination of the board’s committees, and the group’s corporate governance framework.
Richemont said the new division of responsibilities “reflects the board’s commitment to robust governance, and to ensuring that both the group’s strategic priorities and its governance obligations receive dedicated attention” at non-executive, co-deputy chairman level.
