Before Ginny Wright was appointed as the CEO of North America Patrick Ottomani was the CEO but Patrick departed in December which was just a year later he joined the company. Although Audemars Piguet refused to offer any comment regarding this situation of his departure it was sure a great deal of loss for them since he had previously been the worldwide co-clientele director at Berluti from April 2018 to March 2019.

Ginny Wright was also recently in the news for withholding the position of the President of Kiehl’s under the Loreal umbrella since May 2019 where she looked after the progress and was responsible for continuing the brand’s growth and driving it’s digital data and retail programs. But even before she was the President at Loreal she was the global deputy general manager at Ralph Lauren Fragrances at Loreal  where she was known to have withheld the position from January 2017 to May 2019. Well it’s no secret now that Ginny has come a long road since then.
