Tiffany Appoints Frederic Cumenal as Executive VP

Tiffany & Co. said Wednesday it has named Frederic Cumenal as executive vice president effective March 10. He will be responsible for the company's businesses in Asia, Japan, Europe and emerging markets, and will report to Michael J. Kowalski Tiffany chairman and CEO.

Cumenal, 51, joins Tiffany from the LVMH Group where most recently he was president and chief executive officer of Moët & Chandon, S.A. Cumenal will succeed James E. Quinn, whose retirement in early 2012 was previously announced.

"Frederic brings a wealth of luxury brand experience and a highly developed global perspective that will prove especially important as Tiffany's growth continues outside of the Americas," said Mr. Kowalski.
