Betty Blue: Elisabetta Franchi appointed chair of the board, succeeding Bizzarri

Late on the evening of September 29, Betty Blue S.p.A. announced in a brief statement that, following the end of Dr Marco Bizzarri’s term as chairman of the board of directors, he has been replaced by Elisabetta Franchi.

The company has, therefore, initiated a governance renewal process designed to support future phases of development effectively and to best serve the company’s interests.

In April 2024, the former Gucci CEO assumed the chairmanship of the Bologna-based ready-to-wear company and announced plans to acquire a stake—potentially rising to as much as 23%—through the newly established family holding company, Nessifashion.

When contacted by FashionNetwork.com, the company declined to disclose any further information for the time being.
