Michel Parmigiani and Jean-Marc Jacot continue in their respective roles as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Parmigiani Fleurier. Jean-Marc Jacot will also continue to oversee watchmaking activity for the Sandoz Family Foundation.
This addition to the management team has been prompted by the brand's many developments abroad, both in the creation of subsidiaries in Europe, Asia and the Americas and in the opening of Parmigiani "Ateliers" worldwide in 2010-2011. The arrival of Philippe de Korodi taking operational control of Parmigiani marks a decisive step in the growth of the brand.
Managing Director at Caran D'Ache from 2008 to 2011, Philippe de Korodi was chosen for his expertise in managing a product firmly anchored in the "Swiss-made" concept of quality, and for his ability to develop the growth and the high-end visibility of a brand with international operations.
