LVMH and INSEAD join forces and launch LVMH-INSEAD Alumni 

LVMH and INSEAD are proud to announce the establishment of the LVMH-INSEAD Alumni network, officially inaugurated on March 19, 2025, by Antoine Arnault, INSEAD MBA’05D, Image & Environment of LVMH, and Francisco Veloso, Dean of INSEAD. 

The launch event, organized at the initiative of Jean-Jacques Guiony, President and CEO of LVMH’s Wines & Spirits division and Distinguished Fellow at the INSEAD Corporate Governance Center, took place at the prestigious Grand Salon of Moët Hennessy on rue de Sèvres. The event brought together more than sixty guests, including alumni and representatives from both INSEAD and LVMH. 

The primary objective of the LVMH-INSEAD Alumni is to promote mentorship and support the development of talent. It also aims to unite INSEAD graduates currently working within the LVMH group and its Maisons, thereby fostering collaboration and intergenerational exchanges. 

The partnership between LVMH and INSEAD, under the direction of Jean-Jacques Guiony, focuses on three main areas: education, research, and talent development. Officially launched in November 2024, the partnership was marked by an exceptional and inaugural masterclass by Mr. Guiony.  

The establishment of this exclusive Alumni network marks a new era of partnership between LVMH and INSEAD, aiming to strengthen the ties between these two prestigious institutions. 

Jean-Jacques Guiony delivered the opening speech, stating: “By strengthening the collaboration between our two institutions, this partnership offers INSEAD the opportunity to explore real-world business cases and co-develop research topics with us, while enabling LVMH top management and our LVMH-INSEAD alumni to share their vision of luxury with a highly discerning and demanding audience of MBA students.” 

Francesco Veloso emphasized: “Today marks a welcome evolution in our relationship, combining INSEAD’s academic expertise with LVMH’s industry-leading experience. This collaboration highlights LVMH’s commitment to developing its people and the benefits INSEAD brings through rigorous research and impactful teaching. We look forward to our students gaining from the industry insights of our LVMH-INSEAD alumni network.”  

Antoine Arnault stated: “I am thrilled to contribute to the further strengthening of our ties with INSEAD through this new Alumni network. At LVMH, talent development and knowledge sharing are fundamental values. This initiative will enable our employees and former INSEAD program participants to continue their growth, exchange ideas, and innovate together, thereby enhancing the excellence of our Maisons and the attractiveness of our Group.”
