LVMH Hotel Management has appointed Vincent Billiard Chief Operating Officer and a member of its executive committee, from 5 October 2026.
The role
Vincent Billiard leads the operational strategy of Cheval Blanc and its rollout across the Maisons. He oversees the general managers of each property, as well as the operations, quality, revenue, distribution and sales teams.
His career
He joins from Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, where he had been regional vice president since January 2024 while also serving as managing director of Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, in Paris. Before that, he held positions with Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton and The St. Regis. He has more than twenty years of experience in luxury hospitality.
The signal
LVMH is recruiting from the very top of Parisian palace management as Cheval Blanc grows. A move from the Crillon to Cheval Blanc links two of the most watched addresses in the city. It also shows how much a small luxury brand relies on a single operations leader to keep the same standards from one Maison to the next.
Congratulations to Vincent Billiard on his new role.
