　　He retired from Louis Vuitton in 2012 and was succeeded by Jordi Constans, a Spanishbusinessman who resigned a month later for health reasons. Mr. Constans was replaced byMichael Burke, a French-American businessman and longtime LVMH executive, who remains inthat role.

　　“He had this capacity of seeing the big picture while focusing on the smallest details,” Mr.Arnault’s son Antoine, who worked closely with Mr. Carcelle at Louis Vuitton, said in an email. “This perfect mix of left brain/right brain that is what you search for in top managers.”

　　“他能在看清大局的同时关注最小的细节，”阿诺特的儿子安托尼(Antoine)在电子邮件中说，他曾在路易威登与卡塞勒密切合作。“这种左脑与右脑的完美合作只有顶尖管理者才能具备。”
