The top 10 most inspiring quotes by François-Henri Pinault
- You don’t buy luxury to enter a community, but to set yourself apart from others.
- In a recession, you must be able to call into question everything you’ve done before.
- The first PC that I actually bought myself was a Toshiba Papman in 1985. This model was one of the very first laptops; I remember that it was a revolution at the time!
- I closely follow everything about user interface or human-computer interface: technology that makes computers closer to the way the human being actually functions.
- Linguistics is a good way of defining the culture of a brand. The vocabulary used by sports and lifestyle brands – running, fitness, training, motorsports – is all about functionality, whereas the vocabulary of the luxury business – handbags, ready-to-wear – is all about the product.
- Sustainable development is a fundamental break that’s going to reshuffle the entire deck. There are companies today that are going to dominate in the future simply because they understand that.
- I started buying on the Internet quite rapidly, as early as 1995.
- There’s a strength to being able to look at products through a customer’s eyes, but it is also dangerous.
- I’d never buy something, even if it’s a great brand, that is a competitor to something I already own; that’s insane.
- Luxury hasn’t been democratised; it’s been globalised.
François-Henri Pinault (born May 28, 1962, in Rennes, France) is a prominent French businessman and the chairman and CEO of Kering, a global luxury group owning brands like Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga.
A graduate of HEC Paris, he began his career in the family business in 1987 and became CEO in 2005. Under his leadership, Kering transformed from a retail conglomerate into a luxury powerhouse, rebranding in 2013 to reflect its new focus. Pinault also leads Groupe Artémis, the family’s investment firm, which holds stakes in Christie’s auction house, Château Latour vineyard, and Stade Rennais F.C. He is married to actress Salma Hayek, and they have one daughter together.
Known for his commitment to sustainability and gender equality, Pinault launched the Kering Foundation to combat violence against women and presented the Fashion Pact at the 2019 G7 summit, aiming for zero net CO₂ emissions by 2050. Despite recent challenges, including a significant drop in Gucci’s sales, Pinault remains focused on revitalizing Kering’s brands and maintaining its position in the luxury market.
