Renowned fashion designer, businesswoman, and philanthropist Tory Burch has captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts around the world with her impeccable style and successful career.
However, behind every successful woman is a supportive partner – in Burch’s case, that partner is her husband, Pierre-Yves Roussel.
Roussel, a businessman, CEO, and financial advisor, was born on November 7, 1965, in Paris, France. With a degree in Economics from ESCP Europe Business School, a graduate degree from Brussels University, and an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business School, Roussel has established himself as a prominent figure in the business world.
After starting his career as a financial analyst at Crédit Commercial de France and later joining McKinsey & Company, Roussel made his mark at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, where he served as chairman and CEO of the LVMH Fashion Group. In 2019, he took on the role of CEO at Tory Burch LLC, the women’s fashion label founded by his wife.
Aside from his professional achievements, Roussel is actively involved in the fashion industry, serving as a jury member for various fashion awards and as a board member for influential organizations in the French fashion world.
Despite his high-profile career, Roussel maintains a low profile in his personal life, with a private Instagram account that only allows access to close friends and family.
Roussel and Burch first crossed paths in a business setting when Roussel was exploring a potential acquisition for LVMH in 2014. Their relationship blossomed into a romance, leading to an engagement over the holidays in 2016 and a beautiful wedding ceremony in 2018 at the estate of the late Bunny Mellon.
The couple, who do not have children together, have a blended family with six children from their previous marriages. As they both navigate their successful careers and personal lives in their late 50s, Burch and Roussel continue to be a power couple in the fashion industry.
With their shared passion for fashion, business acumen, and dedication to philanthropy, Tory Burch and Pierre-Yves Roussel exemplify a partnership that transcends the world of haute couture and luxury brands.
