Richemont makes leadership changes at Vhernier

After the recent completion of Richemont’s acquisition of Vernier, the Swiss luxury group said on Friday that Gianluca Brozzetti, executive VP of Buccellati, has joined Vhernier’s board as executive VP “in an ad-interim CEO role”.

The Traglio family, who acquired high-end Milanese jeweller Vhernier in 2001, “will remain involved in the business and continue to contribute to its growth” with CEO Maurizio Traglio now appointed chairman of Vhernier SpA. At the same time, the SpA company’s previous chairman Carlo Traglio now takes the role of Chairman of Vhernier USA LLC. 

Isabella Traglio remains in her role of head of design and R&D, in charge of the creative direction of the Maison.

“I have admired Vhernier ever since it was co-founded by Angela Camurati”, said Richemont’s CEO Nicolas Bos. “Richemont has deep respect for the Traglio family’s exceptional achievement in establishing Vhernier as a highly distinctive jewellery Maison. We very much look forward to working with Maurizio, Carlo and Isabella to ensure that Vhernier flourishes in years to come.”

Brozzetti added that “over the coming years, our focus will be on consolidating its success and expanding its network of boutiques, leveraging its exquisite Made in Italy craftsmanship.”
