This news comes as this ESSEC graduate, who previously worked at LVMH and Cartier International (Richemont Group), celebrated her tenth year at the helm of the jeweler Boucheron (Kering Group) this year.

“I set myself the roadmap of continuing to support the major challenges of the Comité Colbert: showcasing our know-how and supporting our sectors, collectively promoting our values and our Houses internationally, and placing sustainable development at the heart of our strategies, a future challenge for the planet and our professions,”

she said upon the announcement of her unanimous appointment.

“Each house of the Comité Colbert, beyond its individual performance and regardless of its market share and size, has a greater role to play: that of defending values that are universal and cement the foundation of our collective: the values of art, culture, and craftsmanship, the human hand. Because they have meaning, they give meaning. They beautify the lives of millions of people or make them dream.”

Founded in 1954, the Comité Colbert today brings together 98 French Houses and 17 cultural institutions and is committed to preserving, transmitting, and promoting exceptional French creation, both in France and internationally.
Hélène Poulit-Duquesne will officially take up her duties in June 2026 alongside Bénédicte Épinay, the association’s general delegate.
