Edmiston announces new CEO

Edmiston & Company has announced the appointment of Mark Cornell as Chief Executive Officer. Cornell will be based out of the company’s headquarters in Monaco and will oversee global business for the brand. The announcement was made by Nicholas Edmiston, who previously served as chairman and CEO, and will remain chairman of the company. Edmiston commented, “I am thrilled we have been able to recruit one of the most accomplished luxury executives in the marketplace to lead Edmiston into the next stage of growth. After nearly 15 years at Edmiston, I am excited for the future and look forward to supporting Mark in his post as Chief Executive of the company.”

Prior to joining Edmiston, Cornell spent over a decade with LVMH, most recently serving as the president and chief executive officer of Moet Hennessy USA since 2006. Prior to that, he served as the chief executive of Krug Champagne for four years, overseeing strategic development of the brand globally. Cornell’s career spans a number of countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China and Japan. He received his MBA from the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1999.

“After more than ten happy and successful years working on some of the most prestigious brands within the LVMH portfolio, I am eager to embark on a more entrepreneurial role with a new set of challenges. With burgeoning global wealth, Edmiston remains a premier business in an industry that is poised for even greater growth. I look forward to expanding the company’s footprint and burnishing its brand internationally,” said Cornell.
