Ludovic succeeds Diego Fiorentini, who has decided to step down as CFO after nearly three years with the Group to pursue a new professional challenge. Diego will continue to serve as CFO until 15 November 2026, oversee the upcoming Q3 reporting, and remain with lastminute.com until the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition and support Ludovic in his new role.
Diego joined lastminute.com during a challenging period for the Group and played a key role in establishing financial discipline and improving the company's financial position. During his tenure, he advanced the finance department's development, focusing on cash generation, working capital, and structural cost efficiency. At the same time, he transformed the treasury and payments areas from a cost center into a value driver, resulting in both structural cost savings and new revenue streams. Additionally, he strengthened the finance department's role as a strategic business partner throughout the company, supporting the Group through a period of significant operational and organizational change.
Ludovic Boisseau will work closely with Diego during the transition phase before taking on the role of Chief Financial Officer on 16 November 2026. Ludovic brings extensive leadership experience in finance, as well as international expertise in technology environments and marketplace platforms. He was, among other roles, CFO at Primagaz France for eight years, where he developed deep expertise in strategic finance, cost management, and corporate governance. Most recently, he served as CFO at BlaBlaCar, the international marketplace for mobility sharing and travel, after holding senior and transformational roles at IVC Evidensia, Parella, and Europcar France.
Alessandro Petazzi, Chief Executive Officer of lastminute.com: “I am delighted to welcome Ludovic to lastminute.com. His experience will be invaluable for our next development phase as we continue to grow our financial competencies, create a simpler and more efficient operating model, and leverage AI to enhance our long-term competitiveness.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude to Diego for everything he has done for lastminute.com. Since I joined the company at the beginning of 2025, we have worked closely together, and I have greatly appreciated his commitment, financial discipline, and expertise. Diego has played an important role in strengthening the Group's financial foundation, improving cash generation, and building a more efficient and resilient organization. He leaves lastminute.com in a strong position for the next phase of development. I am grateful that he will support Ludovic during the transition until the end of the year. I wish Diego much success in his next chapter and look forward to his future journey.”
Ludovic will join the Group's management team from his first day. He will officially join the executive team when he assumes the role of CFO on 16 November 2026.
Upon his appointment, Ludovic Boisseau said: “It was a very attractive opportunity to join lastminute.com. I am very much looking forward to strengthening the company at such an exciting time for the firm and the entire industry. I am also grateful that Diego will support me in the coming weeks to ensure a seamless transition. I look forward to working with Alessandro and the leadership team as we continue our journey towards an AI-driven travel company.”
