Fashion career profile
Lorenzo Bertelli
Lorenzo Bertelli is Executive Chairman of Versace and an Executive Director, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Prada Group. He joined Prada Group in 2017 as Head of Digital Communication, became Group Marketing Director in 2019 and took on corporate-social-responsibility leadership in 2020. In 2024, he became Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, responsible for the group’s marketing and communication strategy and sustainability approach. Following Prada Group’s acquisition of Versace in December 2025, he was appointed Executive Chairman of Versace. His role is strategic and governance-led: it is kept separate from Emmanuel Gintzburger’s CEO responsibility and Pieter Mulier’s creative direction. The record prevents all three mandates from being compressed into one misleading leadership title.
