Yeah, I’m staying off the phone in case I get the call. Fingers crossed 😉

Did not realise this was an opportunity to apply for a job 😁 I want a fancy title, fat salary and not much to do (I only work between approx 10-16, 4 days a week, spare time is nice). Thank you

Slacking? No no, in Sweden some of us have this thing called "förtroendearbetstid", directly translated it means "trust work hours". In other words I decide how few/many hours I work as long as the job gets done, plus better benefits, 6 weeks vacation per year and great salary 👍 so glad I was born in this wonderful country. Happy workers creates better results and motivated, loyal staff 😀

Don't worry, there are Swedes working 40 hours per week busting their ass off for an average salary as well, so not everyone is enjoying the same "lazy" life as me 😉

LVMH has tapped Stéphane Bianchi, the former CEO of the cosmetics firm Yves Rocher, to succeed Jean-Claude Biver as head of LVMH's watch division...

Bianchi will become CEO of TAG Heuer and oversee the operations of Hublot and Zenith, the other two brands in the watch division, effective November 1.

LVMH has also promoted Frédéric Arnault to the position of director of strategy and digital director at TAG Heuer. Arnault, 23, was named TAG's head of connected technology last year. He is the son of LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault.

"I would like to applaud Jean-Claude Biver for the decisive leadership that he has shown in his role at the head of the watchmaking division," Bernard Arnault said in a statement. "Since the integration of Hublot within LVMH, he has elevated our watchmaking division to a world class technical level of the highest order and has significantly accelerated its commercial growth. I am delighted that the Group will continue to benefit from Jean-Claude’s advice, and I am sure that his entrepreneurial spirit will bring many innovative new ideas to the world of watchmaking."

"After 45 years in the watch industry," Biver said, "I would like to focus more specifically on advising and sharing my experience. I am grateful to the LVMH Group for according me this honor. Stéphane and Frédéric have my full support for the future."

Bianchi, 53, spent most of his career with the Yves Rocher Group. He was CEO from 1998 to 2015. Most recently he was on the board of a family business, the Maus Group.

40-hour-work-weeks would be a dream. My work-days start at home, then 12 hrs -14 hrs at the office, many times followed by calls and emails with offshore late into night / morning hours once I'm back home.
