The new director brings with her deep expertise acquired over a decade of experience at Cartier, where she excelled in several key roles.
Irina Tchakmazian began her journey at Cartier as a Sales Supervisor before quickly rising through the ranks to become Boutique Director at Harrods, London.
In this prestigious environment, she demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, maintained top-notch customer service standards, and achieved high-level commercial performance.
After Harrods, Tchakmazian took on the role of Retail Area Manager for Cartier France, overseeing sales strategies and boutique performance in one of the most competitive and demanding regions.

With previous experiences at Tiffany & Co. and OMEGA Boutique, as well as a stint as an International Merchandiser Junior at Coty Prestige, Tchakmazian possesses a comprehensive understanding of the luxury market and its consumers.
The new director is also firmly rooted in the academic world of luxury, having completed her MBA at the Higher Institute of Luxury Marketing and a Master’s in International Trade and Negotiation at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University.
These qualifications attest to her theoretical and practical understanding of business in the luxury universe.
At Christian Dior Couture, Irina Tchakmazian is expected to implement HR strategies that support the company’s growth ambitions.
Her leadership and management experience in luxury boutiques will provide her with a unique perspective on talent development and retention within a brand that represents excellence and innovation in the luxury sector.
Her appointment is not only a strategic addition for Dior but also an encouraging sign for women in luxury leadership.
Irina Tchakmazian’s presence in a leadership position at one of the world’s most iconic fashion houses is an inspiring example of the trajectory that perseverance and dedication can create in this highly competitive sector.
