Renowned Swiss watch brand, Audemars Piguet, is embarking on a new chapter with the appointment of Alessandro Bogliolo as chairman of its board of directors. Bogliolo, who previously served as CEO of US jewelry brand Tiffany, will succeed Jasmine Audemars, great-granddaughter of the brand’s founder, who expressed her desire to step down from her role as board president.
After 30 years at the helm of Audemars Piguet, Jasmine Audemars expressed her gratitude for the entire staff’s invaluable contributions in building the brand’s success. Although she will no longer serve as board president, Audemars will remain involved as Chairwoman of the AP Foundation. She is confident that the brand has a bright future ahead with many more accomplishments to come.
Alessandro Bogliolo, 57, officially joined Audemars Piguet’s board on August 15. Prior to this, he held the position of CEO and executive board member at Tiffany & Co. from 2017 to January 2021. Bogliolo left Tiffany following its acquisition by French luxury giant LVMH.
With a wealth of experience, Bogliolo brings a strong background to his new role at Audemars Piguet. Before his tenure at Tiffany, he served as CEO of Italian jeans brand Diesel and held various senior management positions at Bulgari for 16 years in countries including Singapore, Italy, and the USA.
The announcement of Bogliolo’s appointment comes after another notable leadership change at Audemars Piguet. In June, the brand revealed that François-Henry Bennahmias would be stepping down as managing director at the end of 2023.
Now under the leadership of Alessandro Bogliolo, Audemars Piguet is positioned for continued success and innovation in the luxury watch industry. As the brand evolves, it will be fascinating to see the direction it takes with new leadership and how it maintains its position as a global leader in haute horlogerie.
