The state of luxury today: the transformative power of data and AI
Edouard de Mézerac is Artefact’s Managing Partner, Global Lead of Luxury & Beauty and Global Lead of Industry Practices. He has spent much of his career in Asia, from Shanghai to Singapore, developing deep expertise in the region’s AI-driven luxury ecosystems. Significantly different from Western systems, China’s AI is defined by an abundance of data from its large population, and one-stop social media platforms like WeChat that differ from more decentralized Western models. Edouard and the Artefact teams have collaborated with many major luxury groups across China, the US, and Europe, giving a holistic view of the luxury industry.
