ABOUT JEAN-JACQUES LHENAFF

Global Brand & Innovation Strategy | Luxury Brand Elevation | Organizational LeadershipI’ve spent more than 25 years helping organizations unlock the power of design as a strategic growth driver for consumer brands.Throughout my career, I’ve built and led high-performance design organizations across North America and Asia, partnering with executive teams to elevate heritage and premium brands through culturally relevant, human-centered innovation. My focus has always been the same: transforming design from a functional discipline into a core enterprise capability that fuels innovation, strengthens brand equity, and drives sustainable revenue growth.I work at the intersection of brand strategy, product innovation, and experience design. By integrating design with Marketing, Engineering, Operations, and Commercial teams, I help organizations embed human-centered thinking into global product ecosystems and innovation pipelines.Beyond building teams and capabilities, I’m passionate about storytelling and advocacy for design at the executive level. I frequently represent brands in industry forums, media engagements, and strategic partner collaborations—translating design vision into compelling narratives that inspire stakeholders and strengthen market presence.What motivates me most is building design cultures that not only create great products and experiences, but also shape meaningful connections between brands and the people they serve.
