Massimo Piombini has been named the new CEO of historic Paris fashion house Balmain.This follows the decision of the previous CEO, Emmanuel Diemoz, to depart the company. Massimo, already a member of the Balmain Board of Directors, has been the Worldwide Commercial Director of Valentino since 2008 and has held various senior positions in the luxury sector over the last twenty years. As CEO of Balmain, he will support the development of the house and further accelerate its international growth.

“I am excited by this opportunity to form a part of the Balmain team, as the brand develops into a global leader in the luxury goods market... Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s Creative Director, has instilled a remarkable passion inside the house, overseeing the creation of a singular, recognizable spirit and silhouette, while always remaining focused on the mission of responding to the needs and desires of a new and diverse generation. I look forward to working closely with him and the rest of the Balmain family, helping to coherently build upon that vision and fully realize the house’s significant potential for impressive future growth.”
