Marchon Eyewear has made two key promotions within its global leadership team. Gabriele Bonapersona is named Chief Brand Officer and Gabriele Cappelli assumes the role of Chief Product Officer.
Bonapersona has more than 15 years of experience in the eyewear industry, with over 12 years at Marchon Eyewear, most recently as Vice President Fashion & Lifestyle Brands. He will oversee Marchon and Altair’s brand portfolio and their respective brand management teams.
Cappelli joined Marchon in 2018 from GrandVision as Vice President Global Merchandising.
“We are thrilled to promote within the company,” said Thomas Burkhardt, President of Marchon Eyewear. “Bonapersona and Cappelli have excelled in their previous roles and these promotions are well deserved. It also demonstrates the value of our succession planning efforts over the years.”
The separate Chief Brand Officer and Chief Product Officer positions replace Burkhardt’s previous role of Senior Vice President of Global Brands, Marketing and Design.
