Marriage of Tiffany to LVMH Finally Consummated

The long-running saga of Tiffany's (NYSE: TIF) acquisition by LVMH Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton (OTC: LVMUY) is finally over as the luxury design house announced today it has finally completed the deal for the high-end jeweler. And LVMH wasted no time upsetting the order of things, immediately moving to install its own executives at Tiffany. 

Anthony Ledru, a Louis Vuitton senior executive, is CEO at Tiffany, effective today. Michael Burke, current CEO and chairman at LYMH, will become chairman of Tiffany.
