Born in Verona in 1973, Massimo Vian graduated in Management Engineering from the University of Padua and shortly after, in 1999, moved to London to enhance his skills in the field of Operations. Upon returning to Italy, he decided to broaden his experience in the automotive sector, holding positions of increasing responsibility up to the role of Director of Industrial Engineering at Key Safety Systems, a multinational specialized in safety systems. In 2005, Massimo Vian was hired by Luxottica as head of Industrial Engineering and in 2014 he became Chief Executive Officer of Product and Operations.
Luxottica Group is an Italian company specialized in the production and trade of eyewear. It is present in over 150 countries across five continents and is the largest global manufacturer of frames for prescription glasses and sunglasses. The company was founded in Agordo in 1961 by Leonardo Del Vecchio.
Throughout its history, the company has distinguished itself through a wide range of acquisitions (notably that of the American brand Ray-Ban, a leader in the sunglasses sector previously owned by the multinational Bausch & Lomb). On March 24, 2014, Luxottica announced an agreement with Google for a new model of augmented reality glasses, a project revisited in 2023 with the Meta group.
In 2012, it was the first Italian company in the fashion sector by revenue. On January 16, 2017, the merger of Luxottica with the French group Essilor was announced. Since October 1, 2018, Luxottica Group S.p.A. has been a subsidiary of the holding EssilorLuxottica, which has held 100% of it since March 5, 2019.
