Fashion career profile

Riccardo Stefanelli

Riccardo Stefanelli is Chief Executive Officer of Brunello Cucinelli, a role he has held since 2020 with delegated responsibility for product and operations. He joined the Brunello Cucinelli Group in 2006, first working in investment planning and control and later leading retail programming, control and planning. He became the group’s legal contact in 2007, joined the board in 2011 and served as co-commercial director from 2017 to 2020, overseeing development of the mono-brand and multi-brand network. Born in Perugia, Stefanelli holds a master’s degree in law from the University of Perugia. His executive profile is kept distinct from Brunello Cucinelli’s continuing Executive Chairman and Creative Director roles, preserving the difference between company management and founder-led creative authorship. This makes the company’s leadership structure useful without implying a transfer of creative control.
