Matthieu Brisset was born in Paris on 2 March 1972 and graduated from the École Polytechnique in 1995. He spent the next thirteen years, from 1995 to 2008, in investment banking at JPMorgan, before joining LVMH in 2008.

When LVMH bought 80% of Loro Piana in 2013 and Sergio Loro Piana died that December, Antoine Arnault became chairman and Brisset was appointed chief executive. After the acquisition Loro Piana opened boutiques in luxury shopping districts such as the Avenue Montaigne in Paris and Ginza in Tokyo. In 2016 LVMH announced that he would hand over on 1 September to Fabio d'Angelantonio of Luxottica and take a new role within the group. He went on to become senior vice-president for strategy and development at Moët Hennessy, and left LVMH in 2020.

He has since founded and chairs the consultancy Bespoke Advisory Partners and is a senior adviser to the Boston Consulting Group. He has been an independent non-executive director of the eyewear group Safilo since 29 April 2021, and sits on the boards of EXA MP and of the Nordic brand group Mandaley, owner of Soft Goat and By Malina. He was vice-president of the MonteNapoleone District association in Milan and a director of Editions Assouline and of the yacht builder Royal van Lent. He speaks French, English and Italian.

Casadi has not verified his roles at LVMH between 2008 and 2013.
