Luxottica Founder’s Son to Leave EssilorLuxottica Amid Succession Dispute
Del Vecchio, chief strategy officer at EssilorLuxottica, plans to depart amid disputes over family succession. The Del Vecchio holding company Delfin, based in Luxembourg, owns about 32.4% of the eyewear group. Del Vecchio cites a looming inheritance and responsibility shift, but faces opposition from other heirs and reservations from Delfin’s board, and criticizes chairman Francesco Milleri’s management style as remote and impersonal.
