About

Before her appointment as general counsel of high-end apparel and fashion company Furla, Giorgia Armanni acquired her legal expertise through a combination of private practice and in-house positions. Moving over to the in-house realm after a traineeship at international law firm Clifford Chance, Armanni was in-house counsel at Geox for over two years before a four year stint at Technogym. During the early days of her in-house career sources praised Armanni for a ‘strong commitment on delivering results on time’ while taking a ‘constantly positive and constructive’ approach to her work. With such broad legal and management expertise in corporate, commercial and financial matters, in additional to strong academic credentials, Armanni is well suited to guiding Furla through an industry rife with challenges, particularly those surrounding intellectual property and licensing. Keen to do more than simply provide legal support, Armanni is very much a team player, encouraging ‘diverse viewpoints and critical thought through effective dialogue,’ in addition to the provision of mentoring and coaching to her colleagues.
