Previously at McKinsey, where she co-founded and managed the “Fashion and Luxury” division, Nathalie Remy was able to reorganise the famous bicentenary tableware company in just a few months. A challenge taken up by the Managing Director, upon her appointment by the powerful Middle Eastern group Chalhoub in March 2018, while sales of the company, which specialises in goldsmithery, stagnated at around 70 million euros. Her mission is to awaken Christofle’s quiet strength.

In the midst of the Coronavirus health crisis, Luxus+ was able to speak by telephone with the 47-year-old Belgian director, mother of three children, to discuss about the serious structural changes of the French luxury goods company, which generates 80% of its sales abroad.
