Massimo Vian

Massimo Vian was born in Verona in 1973. Mr. Vian has built his career around diverse international experiences. He earned a degree in Management Engineering at the University of Padua, and thereafter moved to London in 1999. Here, following a stint in the marketing department of automotive company NACCO Materials Handling, he returned to his true passion, joining EFESO Consulting, a leading specialist in operations management and world class manufacturing, where he worked until the end of 2001.

He returned to Italy where he continued to gain experience in operations within the automotive sector, assuming roles of increasing responsibility, including as Director of Industrial Engineering for Key Safety Systems, a multinational specializing in car-safety systems. In this internationally-focused role, he was in charge of product development for English car manufacturers, as well as leading the rollout of industrial sites in Eastern Europe.

He joined Luxottica in May 2005 as head of its Industrial Engineering division, becoming part of the team of young managers who would contribute to the extraordinary development of the Company over the following decade.

After a year working between Italy and China, he became Operations Director for Asia. Over the following three and half years, he lived in China and was responsible for doubling the size of the Asian manufacturing arm, made up of 7,000 employees, at the highest levels of productivity and quality.

On the back of excellent results in Asia, he was recalled to Italy as Group Chief Operations Officer. For the first time, this position combined responsibility for research and development, engineering and global supply chain under one role. At the same time, he managed the North American lab network and the Oakley factory in California. In 2013, he was given the additional responsibility for Tecnol’s Brazilian site.

Mr. Vian distinguishes himself in his capacity for innovation, as he demonstrated in implementing Luxottica’s new Lean System, which revolutionized production processes throughout the global eyewear industry. His drive and passion for technology also led to the partnership with Google, with research and development teams working to introduce new wearable tech devices.

Mr. Vian is married, and is a motorcycle enthusiast.
