Swarovski renews its Board of Directors

Männedorf, Switzerland – February 2, 2026

 Swarovski International Holding AG has appointed further members to its Board of Directors: Ms. Jing Ulrich, a global investment banking executive, investor and board member joins the Board as its sixth Independent Director. Ms. Nadja Swarovski-Adams and Ms. Carina Schiestl-Swarovski, both 5th Generation, and Mr. Arturo Pacifico Griffini, 6th Generation, are the new family-appointed Family Directors along with Ms. Beatrice Ballini, new family-appointed External Director who was delegated by Mr. Markus Langes-Swarovski. 

They join the Directors appointed in November 2021 - Ms. Annalisa Loustau Elia, Messrs. Markus Fiechter, Manuel Martinez, Robert Singer, and Chair of the Board Ms. Luisa Delgado, Independent Directors, and 5th Generation Family Directors Messrs. Mathias Margreiter and Robert Buchbauer, Vice Chair. 

The changes follow last year's unanimous family shareholder decision to create an integrated global Crystal Group by incorporating the Wattens-based operations, strengthening the Family governance and settling all their legal disputes, thereby laying the foundation for the next phase of successful business development and value creation, on the back of the group concluding its successful business turnaround initiated in 2021 and return to positive financial results. 

“I am inspired by the potential of the Board Directors' rich experiences to further elevate its strategy and oversight leadership, in order to shape the next phase of value creation", says Luisa Delgado, Chair of the Board of Directors. Robert Buchbauer, Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, adds: "We are ready to take the company to the next level.” 

The new Board of Directors of Swarovski International Holding AG is committed to responsible Corporate Governance in line with the principles of the related Swiss Code of Best Practice, in particular with regard to clarity of strategy for sustained long-term value creation and effective management oversight.
