Ferragamo and CEO Marco Gobbetti to Part Ways
MILAN – Salvatore Ferragamo SpA revealed on Monday that it had reached an agreement with chief executive offcer Marco Gobbetti to mutually terminate their employment and directorship relationships, effective March 6, 2025.
“I would like to thank Marco Gobbetti, who in recent years has set up and developed a significant brand renewal and evolution activity, as well as significant product innovation and brand positioning, while also carrying out important work on the organizational evolution of the company and the group, which is the basis for continuing the renewal strategy,” stated chairman Leonardo Ferragamo.
