Kering, the French luxury group, is making waves with a series of strategic moves. CEO Luca de Meo, fresh off his success at Renault, is shaking things up with the creation of two new centers of excellence: Industry and Client. These centers aim to optimize operations and support sustainable growth for Kering's luxury houses.
The appointments of key executives are part of this transformation. Stéphane Noël, a seasoned leader, joins as Chief Industrial Officer, bringing expertise in production and supply chain management. Carlo Mocci, with a background in consulting and e-commerce, becomes Chief Client Officer, focusing on client-centric strategies. Fedele Usai, a luxury goods industry veteran, takes on the role of Chief Marketing Officer, while Daniele Zito, a former Gucci executive, becomes Chief Commercial Officer.
De Meo's vision is to streamline the organization and enhance efficiency. The Industry division will strengthen production processes, integrating purchasing, manufacturing, and research and development. The Client division will provide expertise in product development, marketing, and data-driven strategies.
These hires reflect de Meo's automotive industry background, drawing talent from diverse sectors. Noël's experience in the automotive and manufacturing sectors is a key asset. Mocci's client-centric approach and Usai's luxury industry expertise will contribute to Kering's strategic goals.
As Kering prepares for its Capital Market Days in Florence, de Meo's leadership and these strategic appointments position the group for continued success and innovation in the luxury fashion industry.
