About

Moving in-house after a spell as an associate in Allen & Overy’s Milan office, Federico Dal Poz acted as general counsel for major energy company Sorgenia for six years before taking up his current position of head of legal affairs EMEA at market-leading premium eyewear multinational Luxottica. Appointed to his current role in June 2014, Dal Poz oversees all legal matters affecting Luxottica in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. Having close relationships with other global functions within the company, Dal Poz and his team often go beyond the EMEA territory, for example when working on license agreements negotiations which are global by their nature, and rest ‘at the very core of Luxottica’s activities’. Recognised from within the Luxottica group for achievements related to his department’s responsiveness, which Dal Poz states is ‘praised by all of our business partners’, he and the team have been able to build ‘a strong network of internal relationships thanks to the trust our colleagues give us’.
