MILAN - Alessandro Benetton resigned from the board of directors of Benetton Group. The son of Luciano, who had been executive chairman of the group for a year and a half (until 2013) has made the final step back already a month ago but the news, anticipated by Tribuna di Treviso, was leaked just now. The next council will appoint the successor indicated by the shareholder Edition (the holding company), but in all probability it will not be a representative of the family. the board of directors of Benetton Group currently sit five external advisors, and, until a month ago, the sons of the four founders (Luciano, Gilberto, Carlo and Giuliana) in addition to the chairman, Francesco Gori, and the ceo, Marco Airoldi. The origin of the decision to Alexander, there would be the non-sharing about the future plans of the company of Ponzano Veneto. The entrepreneur does not in fact, together the lines of restructuring of the company current. The point is, the strategy to restore the enamel to the historic group of knitwear and casual clothing, close from the grip of the fierce competition of brands, low cost. Just think, for example, that in two thousand the size of Zara and Benetton were not too dissimilar, while now the gap is stratospheric: in 2015, Zara has recorded a profit almost double compared to the turnover of Ponzano Veneto. A competition that has put on the ropes, with another drama, Stefanel (forced to ask the arrangement in white), but that forces even Benetton to a revival of the model, in addition to the product, on which it seems that Alexander was not in tune. it is possible that the output of Alessandro complicate the balance of the historians of the family, also upstairs, of Edition, they see a representation of the joint of the four branches (even if with different roles). Just at the level of the safety deposit box family Edition, is to go on the air in-depth review of the management structure, with the arrival in mid-January, Marco Patuano, as chief executive officer and Fabio Cerchiai, the current number one of Atlantia, as president, in place of Gilberto (who will become vice chairman.
