A Career at the Crossroads

Gendarmerie, international institutions, the public sector, and the luxury industry: for nearly a decade, he led global security at Louis Vuitton, directing complex, discreet programmes to protect people, savoir-faire, sites, and brand image.

Before that, he commanded units, managed sensitive crises, worked internationally, and advised public and private decision-makers. These experiences led him to a conviction: security is not an end in itself, but a lever for continuity, serenity, and trust.

By creating Add Lumen, Gaël Marchand brings this expertise to other exceptional Maisons, delivering strategic support rooted in attentive listening, anticipation, exacting standards, and utmost discretion.

He is supported by a dedicated and trusted team who share this vision and implement the most appropriate solutions for each situation.
