Ralph Lauren Corporation finds new chief

Following a gap of more than three months, US lifestyle brand Ralph Lauren Corporation has found a new CEO.

It has appointed Patrice Louvet to replace Stefan Larsson, who quit in February after just a year in the role citing differences with executive chairman Ralph Lauren over the direction in which to take the company’s product, marketing and shopping experience.
