“I am very proud of what we have achieved with the team,” Werner wrote at the time on her LinkedIn page. “I started my journey with the maison in 2020, right in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis. We overcame great challenges, have grown the team, expanded our geographic and product footprint, built and scaled up our online presence, bringing the business into a growth trajectory.”

Before joining Valli, Werner was manager of women’s leather goods collections and strategic initiatives director at Louis Vuitton. Prior to that, the ESSEC Business School graduate was an associate principal at consultancy McKinsey & Company for nearly 10 years.
In the latter role, she “supported clients from the luxury, consumer and health care industries on their transformation and growth journey,” Jouve said in the statement.
