Italian womenswear and accessories house Coccinelle has named Giorgio Lepratto as Head of Global Travel Retail.
The company said Lepratto’s appointment underlines its internationalisation strategy and its commitment to travel retail.
Coccinelle noted Lepratto’s contribution to the brand’s development in the channel. He joined Coccinelle from Bally in 2016 as Junior Travel Retail Manager and was named Head of Travel Retail earlier this year.
Lepratto will report directly to Coccinelle Chief Operating Officer Emanuele Mazziotta and will be responsible for supporting the brand’s expansion in current and new markets.
Coccinelle’s team also includes Roberta Danesi as Global Travel Retail Manager.
Mazziotta commented: “I welcome Giorgio in his new position as Head of Global Travel Retail and I am sure he will bring his experience and knowledge to further consolidate the travel retail business of Coccinelle worldwide together with Roberta and the team.”
Coccinelle described travel retail as “solid strategic business”. The brand already has a strong presence in the channel, with over 160 points of sale at airports, downtown duty free malls and cruise ships worldwide.
