Most recently, she has led the deployment of the Group's global transformation programme, following successive leadership positions including Vice President Finance & Administration at The Absolut Company and Chief Executive Officer of Pernod Ricard Sweden and Northern Europe. Combining extensive operational experience, international leadership and an in-depth knowledge of the Group, Mauve is uniquely positioned to lead the Group’s Finance & Tech function.

After 23 years with Pernod Ricard, including the past eight years as Executive Vice President, Finance & Tech and member of the Executive Committee, Hélène de Tissot has decided to pursue a new professional opportunity as Global Chief Financial Officer of Chanel. She will leave the Group on September 30, 2026. During her career with Pernod Ricard, Hélène held a number of senior leadership positions and played a key role in strengthening the Group's Finance & Tech organisation, contributing significantly to its long-term development.
