Dolce & Gabbana Names Ex-Gucci Boss Cantino as Co-CEO (1)

Dolce & Gabbana appointed former Gucci boss Stefano Cantino as co-chief executive officer following the departure of co-founder Stefano Gabbana as chairman.

Cantino will work alongside Alfonso Dolce, brother of co-founder Domenico and the current CEO and chairman, according to a statement on Monday. Cantino has also previously worked at Prada.
