Salvatore Ferragamo CEO Marco Gobbetti Steps Down Amid Ongoing Challenges

Italian luxury goods group Salvatore Ferragamo has announced that its CEO Marco Gobbetti will be stepping down next month after a tenure exceeding three years. For further details, read the full report here. The search for a new chief executive has commenced, with Chairman Leonardo Ferragamo assuming temporary executive responsibilities alongside an advisory committee following Gobbetti's departure on March 6.

Gobbetti's arrival at Ferragamo in early 2022, after leading Burberry, was timed to address the substantial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Florentine brand, notably more severe than its competitors. However, the planned revitalization efforts have encountered obstacles. The group continues to struggle with declining sales, notably in Asia, as the global luxury goods demand shows signs of cooling.

According to data from IndexBox, the global luxury market is projected to expand moderately, but unforeseen economic factors and changing consumer preferences could affect this trajectory. A notable downturn was highlighted a year ago when Ferragamo reported an 8% sales decrease for 2023, prompting Gobbetti to caution that the turnaround ambitions might require more time than initially intended.

The third quarter of the previous year saw a 7.2% revenue drop at constant currencies, leading Gobbetti to guide expectations towards the lower end of analysts' profit forecasts for 2024. This challenging sales environment underscores the complexities faced by traditional luxury brands in adapting to post-pandemic consumer behaviors and market dynamics.
