Leonardo Del Vecchio (1935-2022)

Entrepreneur at heart, pioneer of the optical industry, Leonardo Del Vecchio was the main architect of the creation of the EssilorLuxottica group and its Chairman until his passing in 2022. Having started as an apprentice, he created Luxottica in 1961, beginning a unique industrial adventure. His life was guided by the desire for independence and integration of the entire industrial chain of eyewear from design to distribution. A visionary, he signed his

ating that eyeglasses would evolve from a necessary medical device into a desirable fashion accessory. By purchasing LensCrafters in 1995 and Ray-Ban in 1999, he became the first manufacturer to directly enter optical retail. Finally, by working to bring Essilor and Luxottica closer together, he created an integrated, world-leading group in his sector. Throughout his life, he demonstrated that determination, courage and the pursuit of perfection are key to establishing a leading group. His strong spirit, vision and human values are today hallmarks of the EssilorLuxottica Group.

Francesco Milleri began his career as a business consultant for Italian groups and multinationals in 1988. He gained international experience working in a variety of industries, from mechanics to consumer goods, from financial institutions to pharmaceuticals.  Alongside business consulting activities, he founded in 1996 and developed for about 20years a group of companies focused on technology and digital automation platforms. He is also Director of the Leonardo Del Vecchio Foundation and of IEO European Institute of Oncology.  While maintaining his responsibilities at Luxottica, Francesco Milleri has been involved in the business combination between Essilor and Luxottica since January 2017.
