Bartolomeo Rongone named by Kering as CEO of Bottega Veneta


Kering is reorganizing its executives. The luxury group has
appointed Bartolomeo Rongone as the next CEO of Bottega Veneta,
effective September 1, 2019. Rongone joins the Italian high fashion
brand from fellow Kering-owned label Saint Laurent

Rongone succeeds Claus-Dietrich Lahrs as chief executive of Bottega
Veneta. He will report to Kering’s CEO and chairman François-Henri
Pinault and will become a member of the luxury group’s executive
committee.

Since 2012, Rongone was CEO of Saint Laurent, responsible for
ready-to-wear, leather goods and shoes, along with retail operations
and customer engagement. Kering has said in a statement that Rongone’s
mission with Bottega Veneta “will be to realize the full potential of
the new creative force that has been driving the Italian Maison since
2018.”

“I’m delighted by the appointment of Leo Rongone, and appreciate
his passion and energy,” Pinault stated. “His knowledge of Luxury and
managerial qualities will be decisive in his new role. I am sure he
will be able to maintain this latest development phase in the history
of Bottega Veneta by drawing on the Maison’s exceptional heritage and
the creativity of [creative director] Daniel Lee.”
