Luxury lingerie and bodywear Wolford has strengthened its leadership team and financial position as part of its ongoing transformation strategy, announcing the appointment of Marco Pozzo as Deputy Chief Executive Officer and the successful completion of a €25 million (£21.63 million) capital raise.
Pozzo joined the Management Board as Deputy CEO on 7 July 2025. With an extensive background in leading premium and design-driven businesses, including Ermenegildo Zegna, Alessi, FontanaArte and Driade, his appointment marks a step in the brand’s evolution as it pushes forward its transformation.
Over his career, Pozzo has held key leadership roles where he led major retail expansions, digital transformations and omnichannel strategies.
Wolford said Pozzo’s “global commercial perspective and proven leadership will be instrumental in advancing Wolford’s transformation journey.”

The company added: “His appointment brings complementary expertise to the existing Board, strengthening the leadership team’s ability to execute the company’s strategic roadmap, focus on the brand’s core business and drive sustainable growth.”
Alongside the leadership announcement, Wolford confirmed it completed a capital increase of €25 million in June 2025. Carried out via a rights issue, the transaction resulted in the issuance of 5,214,781 new shares at a subscription price of €4.80 per share, raising the company’s share capital to €71 million.
The capital raise received strong support from investors, led by Lanvin Group.
With both an expanded executive leadership team and bolstered financial foundations, the brand is now poised to “enter its next phase of growth”.
This follows Regis Rimbert’s appointment to the role of CEO at Wolford in June 2024. Rimbert succeeded Silvia Azzali, who chose to leave the company for “personal reasons”.
He boasts over 20 years of leadership experience across the fashion and luxury sectors, previously spearheading transformative initiatives in retail, online and international operations.
