Prada
Italian luxury group Prada has confirmed that Lorenzo Bertelli, son of Group President Patrizio Bertelli, will succeed as Chief Executive Officer.
In a recent interview with international media, Patrizio Bertelli stated, “You could say we have worked together with Lorenzo to formulate the plan. He will ultimately become CEO. At present, Andrea Guerra serves as Group CEO, and Raf Simons is Co-Creative Director of the Prada brand. We have sent a strong signal to the market, investors, and the Group. It is crucial to initiate the succession process, and now the key is to fully support it.”
Lorenzo Bertelli graduated with a degree in philosophy from San Raffaele University in Milan in 2008 and joined the company in 2017 as Head of Digital Communication. In 2019, he was promoted to Group Marketing Director and, in 2020, became Head of Corporate Social Responsibility. Since 2024, he has served as Prada Group’s Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, fully responsible for the Group’s marketing communications strategy and sustainability initiatives.
On April 10, 2024, Lorenzo was elected Executive Director by the Prada Group shareholders’ meeting.
