Gobbetti, currently the chairman and chief executive of French luxury brand Celine, will join the board in 2017 “as soon as he is contractually able to do so”, Burberry said in a statement. Burberry announced a fall in annual net profits in May, triggering a three-year programme of cost savings totalling at least £100 million ($130 million, 117 million euros).
