Brazilian footwear and apparel group Alpargatas, owner of flip-flop sandal brand Havaianas, informed its shareholders on April 27 that members of the board of directors have received the resignation letter of Roberto Funari, the company’s CEO. As a result, the board has decided to appoint Luiz Fernando Ziegler de Saint Edmond, a current member of the same board, as CEO on an interim basis. Funari has been with the São Paulo-based company since January 2019. A permanent successor will be appointed in due course, the company said.
