Renata Holmes says she will bring her haute couture brand and travel retail marketing experience to her new role

Safilo Group has announced two travel retail appointments for the Americas and for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions.

In the Americas, Safilo Group has named Renata Holmes as the region’s new Travel Retail Marketing Manager.

Safilo Group Global Travel Retail Director Francesco Leccisi said: “Renata has strong experience in both travel retail channel and domestic markets and will play a key role in leading the business in the region. Her role will be instrumental in establishing Safilo Group as a world-class leader in the industry. ”

Renata added: “I look forward with great excitement to continuing my journey in the dynamic global travel retail market. Safilo has a long and strong history in haute couture brands and my role will be to establish strong travel retail marketing tools, creating a synergy with all our partners in the region.”

Safilo Group has also announced the appointment of Lukasz Karpinski as Travel Retail Area Manager for EMEA.

Leccisi said: “Lukasz has strong experience in international business and will play a key role in leading the business in the region, enlarging the distribution with our key partners such as World Duty Free and Heinemann.”

Lukasz replaces Valeria Carturan, who helped create the group’s travel retail global project over the past three years.

Carturan said: “I’m proud of the fantastic achievements that Safilo Group has generated in the channel and I am sure that Lukasz will continue to strengthen our relationship and focus in our key markets.”

Last November, Safilo Group announced three appointments to its travel retail division in Asia Pacific as part of a strategy to grow its brand portfolio and presence in the region.
