Dunhill is getting new leadership.
The British men’s luxury brand announced Tuesday that Matthew Ives will step in as its chief executive, effective Oct. 13. He takes over for Andrew Holmes, who had been filling in as interim CEO after his predecessor, Laurent Malecaze, was appointed to lead Richemont stablemate Chloé at the end of 2023.
The appointment marks a return to Richemont for Ives, who held senior leadership positions at the conglomerate’s Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels labels before departing for De Beers, where he served as senior vice president and chief commercial officer for three years.
