Since 11 March, Stephan Linder has been President and CEO of Gucci Timepieces and Jewelry. Marco Bizzarri, President and CEO of Gucci, said, "Stéphane brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise that will be crucial as we embark on a new chapter in Gucci's brand history. Watches and jewellery represent two strategic categories and I am confident that, through the combination of Stéphane's leadership and the new Creative Director Alessandro Michele's contemporary vision of Gucci, we will be able to achieve further business growth in the coming years". Stéphane comes to Gucci after more than 20 years at TAG Heuer, where he held a series of increasing responsibilities, including VP of Marketing and Design from 2007 to 2010, VP of Sales for North America from 2010 to 2013, until his appointment in the same year as TAG Heuer's President and CEO.
