Joining the Board are Pantaleo Dell’Orco – Armani’s partner for decades and now the new chairman of the company – the designer’s niece and nephew Silvana Armani and Andrea Camerana, and CEO and general manager Giuseppe Marsocci. It is a governance structure that blends continuity and renewal, experience and vision, thanks to the presence of the stylist’s long-standing collaborators and the entry of influential figures capable of bringing new skills and perspectives, such as Angelo Moratti.
Giorgio Armani Spa has announced the new composition of its Board of Directors, marking a significant moment in the group’s recent history. The governance structure combines continuity and innovation, experience and vision, thanks to the presence of Armani’s historic collaborators and the addition of prominent figures capable of contributing fresh expertise and perspectives. Among them, Angelo Moratti stands out—an entrepreneur with a long family tradition but, above all, a forward-thinking voice in contemporary Italian business.
Alongside Moratti, the Board welcomes Pantaleo Dell’Orco – Armani’s long-time partner and now the company’s new chairman – Silvana Armani and Andrea Camerana, CEO and general manager Giuseppe Marsocci, former Gucci president and CEO Marco Bizzarri, John Hooks, a long-standing executive within the group, and Yoox Net-A-Porter founder Federico Marchetti, a pioneer of luxury e-commerce. Not joining the new Board are Roberta Armani and the designer’s sister, Rosanna.
The arrival of Angelo Moratti carries particular significance, as it introduces a figure known for his ability to understand and anticipate market changes. With entrepreneurial activities spanning the energy, technology and social sectors, Moratti brings to the Armani group an international mindset attuned to innovation and aligned with ESG dynamics that deeply influence today’s luxury world. His appointment suggests a forward-looking direction, in line with the needs of a brand that aims to remain faithful to the founder’s values while being ready to embrace new global scenarios.
The new appointments include the confirmation of Pantaleo Dell’Orco as chairman and Marsocci as CEO and general manager. “The new Board of Directors of Giorgio Armani Spa,” said Dell’Orco, “is composed of family members and the CEO, all long-standing collaborators of Mr. Armani, alongside independent professionals of recognized competence and experience. This represents the best guarantee for the continuation, enhancement and modernization of the idea of beauty, the business model and the ethical values built by Mr. Armani over 50 years of history.”
The renewed governance will continue to align with the founder’s vision, safeguarded and upheld by the Giorgio Armani Foundation, which will always maintain a minimum 30% stake in the company. This ensures stability and consistency, even in the event of future corporate developments, such as the entry of new shareholders or a potential stock market listing.
The Foundation’s board is still chaired by Dell’Orco and includes Andrea Camerana, Irving Bellotti – CEO of Rothschild Italy – lawyer Andrea Silvestri of Legance, and notary Elena Terrenghi, who also handled Armani’s will. This high-profile team guarantees institutional continuity and protects the creative and cultural legacy of the founder.
In this context, the arrival of Angelo Moratti appears to be a strategic addition: an inclusion intended not only to strengthen the governance structure, but also to support the kind of intelligent renewal that can lead Armani into the next chapter of its history. The blend of tradition and innovation – between creative roots and new managerial energy – seems to be the true strength of the new Board: a balance that allows the maison to face the global challenges of the luxury sector with clarity and ambition.
