Antoine Tessier has left the LVMH Group for a new adventure.
Tessier, who had spent 12 years with the French luxury conglomerate, most recently as chief technology officer of LVMH Americas, has been named chief executive officer of DuPont Registry Group, a platform for the luxury automotive lifestyle. DuPont Registry’s portfolio includes Sotheby’s Motorsport, Canossa Events, Cavallino and FerrariChat, and the company hosts events and creates a community centered around the luxury car market.
“Antoine Tessier is a visionary leader with a passion for driving innovation and growth,” said Christian Clerc, chairman of DuPont Registry Group. “We’re excited to have him on board, as he has a proven track record for strong leadership skills and a collaborative approach. Antoine empowers his teams to innovate with a customer-first mindset, and that is exactly what we need as we begin this journey for the duPont Registry Group.”
In his new role, Tessier will oversee the strategic direction and global business growth of duPont Registry’s brands along with product, content, marketing and operations.
“It’s an honor to be appointed CEO of duPont Registry Group,” Tessier said. “As a veteran of the luxury lifestyle industry, I look forward to connecting with the millions of ardent fans, luxury car enthusiasts and stakeholders throughout this integrated ecosystem. The Driven Lifestyle platform, specifically the duPont Registry Group, is the ultimate omnichannel network catering to the high-end automotive lifestyle. I look forward to redefining how these enthusiasts interact with their passion.”
Before taking over as chief technology officer at LVMH Americas, Tessier worked at Louis Vuitton for 10 years in a variety of roles including senior manager of digital and retail, and chief technology officer.
“As we build the team at duPont Registry Group, I know my expertise in luxury and technology, combined with my passion for high-end cars, will help design a new and amazing customer experience,” Tessier added. “Similar to LVMH brands, we will create lifelong and unique relationships for the dreamers and the owners of exotics and supercars. We are building something unseen in the automotive and luxury space.”
