"Regarding the rumors about the possible departure of Andrea Guerra, CEO of Luxottica Group, the company specifies that at the moment the members of the board of directors have not received any communication to this effect and no board of directors has been convened". This was stated by the company in a note at the request of Consob, specifying that the subject could be addressed in a forthcoming board of directors.
Meanwhile, after yesterday's debacle, today the Luxottica share holds up in Piazza Affari, where in mid-morning, on a day that is currently positive for the Ftse Mib, it loses only 0,1%, resisting above the 39 euro level at 39,05. In the meantime, the full successor is raging: the president Leonardo Del Vecchio would already have a shortlist of candidates on the table, with both internal candidates (in this case the choice, at least ad interim, could fall on Enrico Cavatorta, CFO and general manager, who will manage the transition phase) and external (the names of the CEO of Autogrill and Wdf, Gianmario Tondato Da Ruos, and of Campari, Bob Kunze-Concewitz, are circulating). We speak in particular of the historic right-hand man, Luigi Francavilla, of the banker Claudio Costamagna and of the business lawyer Sergio Erede.
