On embraces co-ceo model amid global growth

Swiss sportswear brand On is undergoing a structural overhaul as it prepares for accelerated global expansion. After a 13-year tenure as CFO and five years as CEO, Martin Hoffmann is stepping down, paving the way for co-founders David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti to assume the dual role of co-CEOs. The move, effective March 2026, aims to unify founder-led strategic intent with the company’s operational core, a strategy both leaders believe will foster agility and maintain product focus. Scott Maguire’s promotion to President and COO, overseeing the entire value chain from R&D to commercial operations, further strengthens the operational foundation.

Béatrice goasglas steers tag heuer into the future

Béatrice Goasglas, previously president of Tag Heuer Americas, has ascended to the role of CEO, following the departure of Antoine Pin. Goaslas’s career trajectory within LVMH, spanning Sephora, L’Oréal, and SMCP, demonstrates a proven ability to navigate the complexities of the luxury market. With LVMH managing director Stéphane Bianchi expressing confidence in her leadership, Tag Heuer is poised to embrace a new era of innovation and growth. The move underscores the group’s confidence in Goaslas’s ability to propel the iconic watchmaker forward.

The next few months will be critical in observing how these new leaders shape their respective brands and influence the broader fashion ecosystem.
