Romain Spitzer, a seasoned beauty executive, has been appointed as the new CEO of Bottega Veneta, effective September 1st. This appointment comes after a prolonged search for a new leader, following the departure of Bartolomeo Rongone in March. With a background in luxury and a track record of nurturing brand appeal and fostering innovation, Spitzer is poised to lead Bottega Veneta into its next phase of development. The appointment is part of a broader turnaround effort under Kering CEO Luca de Meo, who aims to double the business from non-leather goods categories under creative director Louise Trotter. Spitzer's expertise in global luxury markets and his ability to support long-term growth make him an ideal fit for this role. His previous experience at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and his leadership at LVMH Fragrance Brands, including the expansion of his responsibilities to include Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Acqua di Parma, further solidify his credentials. The appointment signals a strategic move by Kering to strengthen Bottega Veneta's position in the luxury market, leveraging Spitzer's leadership and vision to unlock the brand's growth potential. As Bottega Veneta embarks on this new chapter, the industry eagerly anticipates the impact of Spitzer's leadership and the brand's continued success in the luxury fashion arena.
