Hermes to reshuffle executive committee in May

Feb 4 - French luxury goods maker Hermes, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the 2010 luxury rebound, said on Friday it would reorganise its executive committee from May 2 in a bid to boost efficiency and growth.

The group, famous for its silk scarves, said in a statement Axel Dumas, currently head of leather goods, will serve as head of operations overseeing business lines and sales.

Deputy Chief Executive Guillaume de Seynes will also be named head of a new division combining leather and textile goods.
