Fashion career profile
Benedetta Petruzzo
Benedetta Petruzzo is an Italian fashion executive whose leadership career spans luxury accessories, fashion and international consumer expansion. She studied Business Administration and Management at Bocconi University, began in finance, then worked in retail and luxury consulting at Bain & Company. Before joining Prada Group, she spent five years at Kering Eyewear in management roles, ultimately becoming Executive Vice President for North America. Prada Group appointed her Miu Miu General Manager in February 2020; she became the brand’s Chief Executive Officer in March 2023, with responsibility for its global strategic development. Christian Dior Couture appointed her Managing Director effective 15 October 2024. In January 2026, Alo named her CEO of International to lead international operations and expansion. The profile separates her successive Miu Miu titles from her later Dior and Alo appointments, rather than treating her executive career as one continuous role.
