Molet joined Davines in 2008 and during a 13-year tenure as North America CEO has implemented structures that have resulted in continuity and steady growth, making North America a key market for the group.
Speaking about his new role, Molet said: “I believe that it is increasingly the responsibility of companies to educate consumers and influence their behaviour towards a more sustainable world.”

“The Davines Group’s experience allowed me to implement the business vision I have always believed in, where the company’s success has to come together, in a circle, with a positive impact on people and planet,” said Braguzzi.
Bollati added: “Paolo’s ethical and organisational leadership and consistent commitment not only led the group to successful achievements in terms of financial results, but also significantly contributed to building a sustainability-driven, resilient community.”
