Adolfo Domínguez, a prominent fashion company known for its elegant designs and sustainable practices, recently announced the appointment of Antonio Puente as its new general director. This decision, which was enthusiastically approved by the board of directors, comes as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its senior management team. The proposal to appoint Puente was put forward by none other than Adriana Domínguez, the dynamic CEO of the firm.
The news of Antonio Puente’s new role was officially made public through documents filed with Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) on a Friday, signaling a new chapter in the company’s leadership. With vast experience and a proven track record in the fashion industry, Puente is expected to bring fresh perspectives and strategic insights to drive Adolfo Domínguez’s growth and success.
Antonio Puente steps into the shoes of general director following the promotion of Adriana Domínguez to the CEO position in May 2018. Since they began working together in October 2017, Puente, in his previous role as the director of operations, has demonstrated his exceptional financial acumen and leadership skills. The synergy between Adriana and Antonio has already yielded positive results, setting the stage for the company’s continued evolution and transformation.
Adolfo Domínguez’s confidence in Puente is evident in their praise of him as a “great professional” with a strategic vision and a pragmatic approach. The company highlights Puente’s role in driving significant improvements in performance in a relatively short period. As the newly appointed general director, Puente will lead a diverse and dynamic management team, with a strong focus on empowering women in leadership roles to steer the company towards its next phase of growth and innovation.
In recent years, Adolfo Domínguez has experienced a surge in like-for-like sales and e-commerce revenues, reflecting its strong brand presence and customer loyalty. The company’s strategic review of its store network has resulted in a significant global footprint, with more than half of its stores now located outside Spain. With a turnover of 113.7 million euros in the 2017/18 financial year and positive trends in operating EBITDA, Adolfo Domínguez is well-positioned for sustained growth and profitability.
As the fashion industry continues to evolve and adapt to changing consumer preferences, Adolfo Domínguez remains committed to innovation, sustainability, and excellence under the leadership of Antonio Puente and the new management team. With 396 stores in 23 countries and a dedicated workforce of over 1,100 employees, the company is poised to capitalize on new opportunities and expand its global reach.
