About

Carol Girod Battesti

For twenty years I have worked with brands in the lifestyle industry: fashion, sport and everything happening where they meet. My speciality is understanding new consumers, especially Gen Z and kiddults, and helping brands speak to them.

Youth cultureI am closely connected to young people and the cultural movements that drive them. Consumer insight is the starting point of everything I do: a brand grows when it understands what the people who choose it live, want and share.
LeadershipI held senior roles at major sport and fashion houses (Nike, Ralph Lauren, Kering), then led companies through transformation as COO of Marine Serre and CEO of OMY. I learned that a successful repositioning rests on three inseparable pillars: finance, organisation and image.
CultureCulture is central to my path. A photographer working in analogue and digital, I also support emerging artists. This eye shapes my work on brand image and experience.
Never aloneLe Beau Monde, the firm I founded, works with a network of specialist consultants, chosen for each project.
