Charlotte Blechman is a New York-based marketing and communications executive and serial SPAC director who currently serves as a Senior Managing Director at ACTUM, a global strategic advisory firm, a position she has held since November 2025. At ACTUM, she is leading the buildout of a new luxury, fashion, and lifestyle consultancy practice through targeted recruitment and key acquisitions. In March 2026, she was appointed to the board of directors of Cantor Equity Partners V, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEPV) as a Class I director, where she also serves on both the audit committee and the compensation committee, receiving annual board compensation of $50,000 paid quarterly. She additionally holds directorships at Lightwave Acquisition Corp. (since June 2025) and Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc. (since January 2026), bringing substantial SPAC governance and transaction experience to her current roles.
Blechman's career spans nearly three decades shaping some of the world's most influential luxury, fashion, beauty, retail, and lifestyle brands. She first joined Gucci in 1995 and was promoted to director of worldwide celebrity relations in 1998. In 2001, she transitioned to Gucci Group's Yves Saint Laurent division as vice president of public relations under Tom Ford, eventually rejoining Gucci from 2004 to 2010 as vice president of public relations and special events for Gucci America, also overseeing worldwide celebrity relations. When Mark Lee, Gucci's former president and CEO, joined Barneys New York as CEO, Blechman followed to serve as executive vice president of marketing and communications from 2011 to 2017. She was then appointed chief marketing officer of Tom Ford Retail LLC in January 2017, a newly created role in which she reported directly to Tom Ford and oversaw global marketing and communications, public relations, advertising, visual display, CRM, events, and digital and social marketing across fashion, beauty, eyewear, and timepieces, serving in that capacity until June 2023. From October 2024 to August 2025, she served as a consultant to alice + olivia as chief brand officer and head of new business development before joining ACTUM.
Blechman's SPAC track record is extensive and includes multiple completed business combinations and one liquidation. She served as a director of CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II from November 2020 until its business combination with View, Inc. in March 2021, as a director of CF Acquisition Corp. VIII from March 2021 until its business combination with XBP Global, Inc.

IV from December 2020 until its liquidation in December 2023, and as a director of Cantor Equity Partners, Inc. from August 2024 until its business combination with Twenty One Capital, Inc. in December 2025. Her deep advisory and governance experience spans guiding companies through periods of growth, transformation, acquisition, and reputational complexity, with expertise in executive advisory, customer experience, omnichannel storytelling, global expansion, brand revitalization, and organizational transformation. Tom Ford himself praised her as possessing great instincts, tremendous dedication, strong people skills, and an analytical mind suited to navigating today's complex marketing landscape. No information regarding her educational background was available in the sources reviewed.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001833917 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row.
