Tom Mendenhall is the new CEO of Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney has appointed Tom Mendenhall as its new CEO. He replaces Amandine Ohayon, who leaves the role after almost two years at the helm of the house. The decision comes at a key moment for the brand, which this year repurchased the minority stake that LVMH had held since 2019.

Mendenhall brings a solid track record in international luxury. He has held senior positions at Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford and Gucci. His profile combines operational expertise with strategic vision in the sector. According to McCartney, this appointment strengthens the company’s next phase of growth while keeping aligned with the ethical values that form part of the brand’s identity.

With Tom Mendenhall, Stella McCartney is adjusting its management structure following the transition towards independence. The change marks a new chapter in the house’s positioning within the luxury industry.
