Sánchez brings diverse experience, mainly in retail and consumer products, to this leadership position. His impressive track record includes CEO and senior leadership positions in various international companies.
Amidst these transitions, Cristiano Silei, who has been at the helm of Dainese since 2015, will transition to the role of non-executive chairman of the company. These changes mark a new chapter for Dainese, and it will be interesting to see how these alterations impact the future direction of the brand and innovations in the motorcycle gear industry.

During his leadership, the companies experienced impressive growth, with EBITDA doubling during his tenure.

His tenure culminated in the successful sale of the company to Keter, a leading manufacturer of high-quality plastic products for consumers. At Keter, Sánchez initially served as Marketing Director and later advanced to the positions of Deputy CEO and Director of Europe. His diverse experiences in different sectors bring a wealth of knowledge to his new role as CEO of Dainese.
