New Executive Joins Board: Stefano Grassi Elected to Luxottica's Board of Directors
Luxottica, a leading player in the eyewear industry, has announced a change in its Board of Directors. Stefano Grassi, a seasoned business executive with extensive experience in global operations, management, finance, and industrial operations, has been proposed for election.
Grassi, born in 1973 and holding a degree in Business Administration from the University La Sapienza, Rome, Italy, is well-known for his work in the eyewear and optics sector. He has spent a significant portion of his career at EssilorLuxottica, where he held a senior leadership role and was responsible for global operations and supply chain management. Prior to joining EssilorLuxottica, Grassi spent nine years at General Electric (GE) in various management and finance roles.
Since 2021, Grassi has served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of EssilorLuxottica, and before that, he held the same position at Luxottica Group from 2014. His nomination to the Luxottica Board reflects the Board's commitment to refreshment and ensuring experience and skills in line with the Group's Future@Work strategy.
The election of Grassi aims to augment the Board's operational finance expertise and general management experience. Ariane Gorin, a member of the Board for the past seven years, will not stand for re-election due to her recent appointment as CEO of Expedia Group. David Prince, another long-standing member since 2004, will also not stand for re-election.
The current Chair of the Board, Jean-Christophe Deslarzes, will stand for individual re-election, along with all other members, including Grassi.

Stefano Grassi's extensive experience in finance and general management, gained from his tenure at General Electric (GE) and his current role as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of EssilorLuxottica, will undoubtedly prove valuable to Luxottica's business operations and financial strategy. The Board's decision to elect him reflects their determination to reinforce expertise in key areas, such as finance and industry, in line with Luxottica's Future@Work strategy.
