Roberto Eggs becomes Zimmermann’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Eggs will take on his new role at the Australian fashion label on May 1st, Zimmermann announced. He has been a member of the brand’s board of directors for over a year and has already established a close working relationship with other company executives during its growth phase.
He is moving to Zimmermann from the Italian luxury fashion group Moncler Group, where he worked for more than eleven years. Most recently he was Chief Business & Global Market Officer. He previously held various positions. These included that of global vice president at the Swiss coffee specialist Nestlé Nespresso in Lausanne and that of president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in the Paris office of the French fashion house Louis Vuitton.
Current Zimmermann CEO Chris Olliver has held the position for more than twenty years since his appointment in 2005. He will move to the role of Executive Chairman. Together with the founders Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, he will continue to be involved in the company’s long-term strategy.
Zimmermann was founded in Sydney in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann. Since then, the label has developed into an internationally recognized luxury brand with an unmistakable romantic style. The company operates businesses in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The US investment company Advent International has been the majority owner since 2023.
