Audemars Piguet said Thursday morning that “due to differences in company strategy,” chief executive officer Philippe Merk is leaving the company.
The high-end Swiss watchmaker appointed Merk ceo in 2009. Until his replacement is found, AP's board of directors has nominated François-Henry Bennahmias as GM.
Bennahmias, 48, began his career at Audemars Piguet in 1996 and from 1997 he was assistant marketing and sales manager for Asia-Pacific and Europe.
In 1999, he was promoted to president and ceo of Audemars Piguet’s North America business.
