About Julie et Edouard Guerand

Julie Guerrand is a member of the Supervisory Board of Hermès International, one of France’s most iconic luxury groups. As a direct descendant of Émile-Maurice Hermès, she belongs to the founding family and has a long-term role in the company’s governance. Hermès operates under a partnership limited by shares structure, which separates management powers from oversight powers and is designed to preserve the group’s identity, culture, and long-term continuity. Julie Guerrand has served on the Supervisory Board since 2 June 2005, and she also served on the Audit Committee, later the Audit and Risk Committee, from its creation in 2005 until 2011. Her academic background combines analytical and strategic training. She holds a DEUG in applied mathematics and social sciences, as well as a master’s degree in Economics and Industrial Strategy from Université Paris-Dauphine. Before becoming involved in Hermès governance, she built a strong career in finance and investment. From 1998 to 2006, she worked in the Financial Affairs department of Rothschild & Cie, focusing on mergers and acquisitions advisory. She then served as Investments Director within the investment team at Paris Orléans from 2007 to 2011, gaining further exposure to capital allocation and strategic oversight. This experience gives her recognized expertise in corporate finance, investment, M&A advisory, and strategic analysis. At Hermès, her role is closely aligned with the family’s stewardship culture: maintaining the group’s independence, safeguarding its exceptional brand equity, and supporting disciplined long-term growth. Her profile illustrates the balance Hermès seeks between family continuity, rigorous governance, and international expansion.
