Cantino will report to Francesca Bellettini, Kering's Deputy CEO of Brand Development. He replaces Jean-François Palus, who has led Gucci since July 2023.

Cantino brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He joined Gucci in May 2024 as Deputy CEO after a five-year tenure at Louis Vuitton, where he was responsible for Communications and Image.
