Italian luxury fashion house Prada is reportedly looking to recommend Andrea Guerra, the former CEO of Luxottica, as the new group CEO at the next board meeting on 26 January 2023.
This was triggered by co-CEOs Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli’s decisions to step down from their roles.
However, Miuccia Prada will still remain creative director of Miu Miu and the Prada brand, with fashion designer Raf Simons aiding her in the latter. She will also remain a board member of the group.
In addition, Bertelli will reportedly be recommended as chairman of the board of directors of the group, while Paolo Zannoni will be recommended as executive deputy chairman of the board of directors.
Prada and Bertelli said: “This is a fundamental step we have decided to undertake, while completely engaged in the company, to contribute more to the evolution of the Prada Group and to ease the succession of Lorenzo Bertelli, the future leader of the group.
“We thank Andrea Guerra for being willing to take the job, with the aim of achieving steady and sustainable growth. Andrea Guerra, with his long professional experience, has shown entrepreneurial skills in businesses, blending their culture and the needs of a company continuously evolving and active on international markets.”
