Leonardo Del Vecchio’s right-hand man was named on Monday to succeed the Italian billionaire -- who died last week -- as chairman of the family’s Delfin holding company.
Francesco Milleri, the 63-year-old appointed on June 28 to follow Del Vecchio as chairman of eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica SA, will now take on the same role at the holding, according to a statement Monday. Milleri has been EssilorLuxottica’s chief executive officer since 2020.
