The luxury goods group Richemont has taken an important step in its long-term corporate planning. The Board of Directors appointed Anton Rupert as Non-Executive Co-Deputy Chairman, effective immediately. He will share the role with Bram Schot, who has held this position since 2024.

Richemont explicitly describes this personnel decision as part of the Group’s long-term succession planning. Chairman Johann Rupert remains Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Clear Division of Responsibilities

The two co-deputy chairmen will assume different areas of responsibility. Anton Rupert will oversee the work of the Strategic Product and Communications Committee (SPCC) going forward. The committee addresses the Maisons’ strategic product and communications issues and thus plays a central role in shaping the Group’s creative and commercial direction.

Bram Schot will continue to be responsible for corporate governance matters and for coordinating the work of the Board of Directors and its committees.

Long-Term Continuity

In a statement, Johann Rupert described the appointment as an important step for the company’s future. Richemont’s strength lies in the combination of long-term thinking, consistent corporate leadership, and the creative and artisanal identity of its maisons. With Anton Rupert and Bram Schot sharing responsibility, these areas will be supported even more effectively in the future.

Richemont brings together many of the most prominent luxury brands in the watch and jewelry industry under one roof. These include, among others, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Buccellati, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC Schaffhausen, A. Lange & Söhne, Panerai, and Piaget.
