Bart Becht, Coty’s current interim CEO and chairman, will remain chairman following the transition.
According to Coty, Leoni Sceti brings a track record of devising and executing corporate strategies to build global brands and achieve strong financial results at consumer-oriented companies ranging from EMI Music to the Iglo Group, where he currently serves as CEO. At the Iglo Group, a European frozen food company, he worked closely with colleagues to reframe the company’s growth and investment models behind the “Better Meals Together” strategy, turning the market share trends on its core Birds Eye, Iglo and Findus brands.
As CEO of EMI Music, he led EMI’s transformation from a traditional record label into a consumer-led music company, helping achieve the global success of established and new artists, such as Coldplay, Katy Perry and David Guetta, and building the global reach of catalogue masterpieces like the digital remaster of the Beatles full collection.
