In 1998, she joined Chanel Fine Jewelry to develop the jewelry collections and associated aspects, before moving to Chaumet International in 2002 to manage Trade Marketing and the launch of the new visual identity.
In 2004, she was tasked with creating, managing and coordinating Chaumet ‘s training Department at an international level.
In September 2009, Dominique Harnois decided to create the Académie du Luxe, a certified continuing training structure dedicated to the luxury professionals. Because Switzerland is a privileged market, a Swiss platform of the Académie du Luxe has been created in 2021.
