MILAN — Salvatore Ferragamo SpA revealed on Monday that it had reached an agreement with chief executive officer Marco Gobbetti to mutually terminate their employment and directorship relationships, effective March 6.

“I would like to thank Marco Gobbetti, who in recent years has set up and developed a significant brand renewal and evolution activity, as well as significant product innovation and brand positioning, while also carrying out important work on the organizational evolution of the company and the group, which is the basis for continuing the renewal strategy,” stated chairman Leonardo Ferragamo.

Gobbetti joined Ferragamo from Burberry in January 2022, succeeding Micaela Le Divelec Lemmi. He had been Burberry’s CEO from July 2017. Early in his career Gobbetti served as CEO of Moschino, and later spent 13 years at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, where he was CEO of Givenchy, working with Riccardo Tisci. He later decamped to Celine, where he worked with Phoebe Philo.

Last week, Ferragamo reported a revenue decrease of 10.5 percent in 2024 to 1.04 billion euros, led by its wholesale channel and the Asia-Pacific market, which fell 19.7 percent in 2024.

S&P 500, Nasdaq, pare losses as Trump's Mexico tariffs paused
NEW YORK (Reuters) -U.S. stocks joined a worldwide sell-off on Monday amid fears that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China could ignite a global trade war, but their losses eased after tariffs on Mexican imports were paused. While all three major U.S. stock indexes veered sharply lower after the opening bell, they partially recovered after it was announced that tariffs on Mexican imports would be paused for a month as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to reinforce its northern border with the United States.

Asia automakers lead the decline as region takes a beating from Trump tariffs
The move by Trump, though widely expected, knocked some of the world's biggest manufacturers, as investors grappled with the prospect of weakening demand from the world's top economy and, more worryingly, the possibility of a downturn in global growth. Many Japanese and South Korean car makers, and their suppliers, have operations in Mexico and have long exported cars made there to the United States. Nissan has two plants in Mexico, where it makes the Sentra, Versa and Kicks models for the U.S. market.

Volkswagen sues India to quash 'enormous' $1.4 billion tax demand, legal filing shows
NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Volkswagen has sued Indian authorities to quash an "impossibly enormous" tax demand of $1.4 billion, arguing the ask is contradictory to New Delhi's import taxation rules for car parts and will hamper the company's business plans, court papers show. Volkswagen's unit, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, also told the High Court in Mumbai the tax dispute puts at risk its investments of $1.5 billion in India, and is detrimental to the foreign investment climate, according to the 105-page filing which is not public but was reviewed by Reuters. In the biggest ever import tax demand, India in September slapped a $1.4 billion tax notice on Volkswagen for using a strategy to break down imports of some VW, Skoda and Audi cars into many individual parts to pay a lower duty.
