Alain Crevet, CEO, S. T. Dupont

As the CEO ofS. T. Dupont, Alain Crevet sits at the helm of a boutique French luxury brand with a history and heritage dating all the way back to 1872. Indeed, Crevet's own association with the prestigious label started long before he became its CEO- he recalls fondly the time when he was gifted a S. T. Dupont lighter by his father for his 18th birthday, which was the first ever luxury product he owned.

Of course, it's easy to see why Crevet was so joyful about receiving a S. T. Dupont creation- this is, after all, a brand that prides itself on crafting "exceptional products for exceptional people." It's this brand ethos that has attracted people from all around the world –including the Middle East- to become aficionados of the savoir flaire that S. T. Dupont espouses, which is exemplified in everything from the choice leather its craftsmen use, or the lacquer finishes that are a class apart by themselves.
