The position of global marketing director is a newly created role, as marketing responsibilities were previously distributed across functions and markets.
The addition of this role reflects the brand’s continued international momentum and focus on elevating its global marketing and communications strategy, it said.
The brand said it has reached a stage where greater strategic focus and global coordination are key.
“Matteo’s appointment represents a natural evolution of our organization,” said founder Bicego.
“As the brand continues to grow internationally, we felt the need to further strengthen our marketing leadership in a structured way, to support the next phase of development with vision and consistency, while remaining fully true to our values and identity.”
