François-Henri Pinault serves as Chairman, and Luca de Meo was appointed Chief Executive Officer on September 15, 2025. The company has recently faced challenges, including a decline in revenue in 2024 and Q1 2025, partly due to the performance of its flagship brand, Gucci. In response, Kering is focusing on strategic initiatives such as brand elevation, direct-to-consumer channels, and a strong commitment to sustainability. Notable recent activities include the acquisition of a 30% stake in Valentino in 2023 and the sale of its beauty division to L'Oréal, expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.
