Moncler, the Italian luxury brand, has named fashion communications and marketing executive Rod Manley as international chief brand officer effective January 20.
In this newly created role, Manley reports to Moncler’s Chief Brand Officer, Gino Fisanotti, who has held the role since 2021.
Manley joins the company from Burberry, where he was the chief marketing officer until Fall 2024. He guided the brand through the pandemic, Brexit, and creative changes between Riccardo Tisci and Daniel Lee.
Before Burberry, Manley was the executive vice president of Influencer Marketing and Communications at Calvin Klein after spending nearly a decade at Giorgio Armani managing communications in Milan and New York.
Manley began his career at KCD, a New York-based PR agency, working directly with the fashion and lifestyle industries.
As luxury brands face a global slowdown in consumer spending, bringing Manley into Moncler’s management team is reported to reinforce its goal of weathering the challenges to meet investor and consumer expectations.
