Fashion career profile
Bartolomeo Rongone
Bartolomeo “Leo” Rongone is an Italian luxury executive who became Group Chief Executive Officer of Moncler on April 1, 2026. He began his career at Fendi in 2001, working across business intelligence, supply chain and client relationship management. After more than a decade in LVMH, he joined Kering in 2012 as Chief Operating Officer of Yves Saint Laurent, with responsibility for product and retail. In 2019 he became CEO of Bottega Veneta, leading the house until March 31, 2026. Moncler appointed him to succeed Remo Ruffini, who became Executive Chairman and retained creative responsibility. The distinction matters: Rongone’s current remit is at Moncler Group level, not only the Moncler fashion label, while his earlier CEO role was specific to Bottega Veneta. The profile’s dates and role scopes avoid conflating group and house reporting.
