New board of directors for Giorgio Armani and confirmation of top management appointments
Giuseppe Marsocci officially takes over as CEO, Marco Bizzarri (former CEO of Gucci) is also on the board
Giorgio Armani has announced the completion of the procedures relating to the succession of the designer-entrepreneur who passed away on 4 September at the age of 91, which, reads a note, "took place within the planned terms with great fluidity and serenity". The shareholders' meeting was then able to convene and appoint the new board of directors, which took office in its new and final composition, in line with the instructions left by the group's founder, who turned 50 in 2025, having been born in Milan in 1975.
The new Board of Directors consists of eight members, chosen by the foundation and the heirs: three representatives of the Armani family, four board members who are experts in fashion and finance without operational powers, and the CEO and general manager, the only employee on the Board, who is entrusted with the operational management of the company.
Coinciding with the constitution of the new board of directors and the entry of the new directors, the appointments of Pantaleo Dell'Orco, head of the men's part of the brand's collections and the designer's companion for many years, as president and Giuseppe Marsocci as managing director and general manager were validated.
The new Board of Directors of Giorgio Armani spa is therefore fully operational and composed of:
Pantaleo Dell'Orco (president)
