MATTHIEU HAVERLAN
MANAGING DIRECTOR
ULYSSE NARDIN
“If I could have dinner with anyone from the past or present, I’d love to meet the visionary Rolf Schnyder, former owner of Ulysse Nardin. Schnyder’s impact on modern watchmaking is legendary – he transformed Ulysse Nardin into a global powerhouse. And then, there’s Elon Musk. Love or hate him, you can’t deny he’s shaping the world of tomorrow. It would be fascinating to explore his unconventional mindset and how he pushes boundaries that others might not even see.”
Matthieu Haverlan brings a wealth of experience and a diverse background to his newly appointed role of Managing Director at Ulysse Nardin. Educated at Grenoble Business School in France from 2006 to 2010, Haverlan launched two startups in his twenties, which polished his entrepreneurial skills and deepened his comprehension of diverse markets.
Matthieu’s professional journey began as a Sales Manager for Hamilton in France (Swatch Group) from 2010 to 2011. He then joined Jaeger-LeCoultre, serving as National Sales Manager in the UK from 2011 to 2014 and later as Area Sales Manager for Asia, Russia, and North America from 2014 to 2016.
In 2016, Matthieu moved to Ulysse Nardin, where he served as Chief Commercial Officer until 2022. His role involved overseeing commercial strategies and expanding the brand’s market presence. Upon his promotion to Chief Growth Officer in 2022, Matthieu’s focus shifted towards driving growth initiatives and innovation. In February 2024, Matthieu was appointed Managing Director of Ulysse Nardin, where he continues to lead the brand towards new heights.
