Sergio Rossi names new president

11/01/2016
High-end Italian footwear brand Sergio Rossi has named Andrea Morante as its new president.

Luxury group Kering announced the sale of Sergio Rossi to private equity firm Investindustrial on December 9 and the two companies said on December 30 that they had closed the sale.

Until December, Andrea Morante also worked for Kering, but as chief executive for another brand, Pomellato. He left that position just before the end of the year after completing an arranged hand-over to his successor, Sabina Belli. At the start of January, Sergio Rossi announced Mr Morante’s arrival.
