You joined the Kering Group and took over as group CEO of Pomellato in 2015. Tell us more about it.
I’ve been given a remarkable opportunity to lead the company through a transformative journey since 2015. It marked a significant shift in my career, transitioning from roles in large corporations to taking the helm of an Italian family-owned jewellery brand with the mission of elevating it into a global player. Early on, I recognised that Pomellato required a profound cultural transformation. Founded on the visionary insight of Pino Rabolini in 1967, Pomellato was crafted for the evolving needs of women, setting it apart from traditional jewellery brands. However, to propel the company forward, we needed to evolve in every aspect, from retail to innovation, to resonate with modern consumers while honouring our heritage.

What is the key to ensuring success in business?
As a business leader, the primary responsibility is to bring value to the company, focusing on profits and value for the shareholders. This requires a critical competency: having a strong grasp of business and financial acumen. Our values and vision have always been deeply rooted in a higher purpose beyond jewellery-making. Since our inception, our founder envisioned a brand that empowered women to express themselves freely and confidently in a rapidly changing society. This creative intention, to provide women with personalised and empowering jewellery, remains at the core of our identity. Through our campaigns, advertising, and social media channels, we strive to address relevant issues such as work-life balance, equal opportunities in the workplace, and gender-based violence.

What would you be doing if you weren’t helming Pomellato?
If I was not leading Pomellato, I’d likely pursue a path focused on improving lives, perhaps through humanitarian work, a childhood dream that still resonates deeply with me.
