Chanel’s finances go to Hélène de Tissot of Pernod Ricard
She arrives in October, from the chief financial officer’s seat at the spirits giant. At Pernod Ricard she will be replaced by Mauve Croizat.
Chanel is to appoint Hélène de Tissot as its new chief financial officer; she takes up the role in October.
De Tissot moves from Pernod Ricard, where she was chief financial officer. At the spirits company itself, Mauve Croizat takes over her post in October.
The appointment comes as the house returns to growth: Chanel’s revenue rose 2% at comparable currency in 2025, to $19.3 billion, while operating profit was up 5% at $4.7 billion. The house’s chief financial officer until now has been Philippe Blondiaux.
This year Chanel plans to open 30 stores, including nine fashion boutiques, and to raise prices by roughly the same amount as last year — 3% overall and 2% on fashion.
