Zimmermann has named Roberto Eggs chief executive officer, effective May 1.

He succeeds Chris Oliver, who has served as CEO of Zimmermann since 2005 and has played a key role in the brand’s transformation into a globally recognized luxury brand. Oliver will transition into the role of executive chairman, continuing to support the company’s long-term strategy, alongside cofounders Nicky Zimmermann and Simone Zimmermann.

With a background in international luxury and consumer goods, Eggs spent more than a decade at Moncler Group, where he was most recently executive board member and chief business and global market officer. Over his 11-year tenure, he has held several senior leadership roles, including chief marketing officer and chief operating officer, playing a central role in driving the company’s global expansion, further strengthening its global positioning, shaping its strategic evolution and accelerating the integration and development of Stone Island.

Earlier he was president of the EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) region at Louis Vuitton, leading one of the brand’s most important geographies. He previously held senior leadership roles within the Nestle Group and Nespresso. He also serves on the board of directors of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts — which he was named to in January — and has been member of Zimmermann’s board of directors for more than a year, working closely with the founders and leadership team during a period of sustained global growth.

“Zimmermann represents a rare combination of creative integrity and commercial strength. It is a privilege to take on the role of CEO and to work alongside Nicky, Simone and Chris to guide the next chapter of the company’s evolution,” said Eggs.

Executive chairman Oliver added, “I’m delighted to welcome Roberto to Zimmermann and look forward to working closely with him as we continue the brand’s strong global growth. His leadership record speaks for itself, and his decision to join is a powerful endorsement of what our team has built and the opportunity ahead.”

Nicky Zimmermann, chief creative officer and cofounder, said, “From the beginning, our focus has been on building a brand with a distinct point of view and a lasting emotional connection. Roberto brings global perspective and a deep appreciation for brand building, and I look forward to shaping the future of Zimmermann together.”

Simone Zimmermann, chief operating officer and cofounder, added, “Roberto’s expertise in scaling international luxury businesses will be invaluable as we continue investing in our global retail network and long-term capabilities.”

Zimmermann was founded in 1991 in Sydney by the Zimmermann sisters. The fast-growing brand has evolved into a globally recognized luxury house known for its distinctive design language and strong Australian heritage. It operates a global retail network across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Advent International became the majority shareholder in 2023, supporting Zimmermann’s continued international expansion and long-term growth strategy in partnership with the founders and leadership team.

The brand has also developed a strong celebrity following. At its fall 2026 fashion show earlier this month in Paris, front row attendees included Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Chastain, Lily James, Naomi Watts, Ego Nwodim, Poppy Delevingne, and Molly Sims.
