Ami Paris has appointed Carlo Mengucci as its new global marketing and communications director. Mengucci will be based in Paris, where Ami was founded in 2011. Alexandre Mattiussi, the creative director of Ami, expressed his enthusiasm about the appointment.
“Carlo is a longtime friend who we are delighted to welcome at Ami. We will write a beautiful chapter of the house’s history together, with our shared values,” Mattiussi said. Mengucci will report to both Mattiussi and Ami’s chief executive officer, Nicolas Santi-Weil.
His responsibilities will include overseeing the brand’s marketing, communications, events, talent management, social media operations, and press departments.
Ami welcomes new communications director
Mengucci joins Ami from Etro, where he served as the marketing and communications director since January 2019.
Prior to that, he worked as the PR director for the Aeffe Group, managing public relations for brands such as Moschino, Alberta Ferretti, and Pollini. He also has previous experience working for Roberto Cavalli. The appointment comes amid changes in Ami’s marketing and communications departments.
Marie Montiglio, the former head of global press, departed in October, and chief marketing officer Samy Cheddadi left last summer. Mattiussi, who has a background working at Dior, Givenchy, and Marc Jacobs, won the ANDAM Fashion Award in 2013. In 2021, Sequoia Capital took a majority stake in Ami to drive its global expansion.
