Mercedes Abramo has exited her role as deputy chief commercial officer at Cartier after more than 16 years with the company.
Abramo, who joined the company in 2008 as director of its New York flagship store, has held various roles at the company, including nine years as CEO of North America, the first American woman to hold the position, she wrote on LinkedIn last week. During the final year of her tenure, she served as deputy chief commercial officer.
The essence of a leader’s job is to build and develop the talents of each individual and the team so they can produce and reach business goals, she noted.
“Our role is to leave an imprint on the legacy of the maison and know that the creations of today will be the treasures of tomorrow,” Abramo said. “This healthy tension of modernity and heritage inspires us to keep striving to make memorable moments for our clients and colleagues and bring the business to new heights.”
