Stefano serves on the Board of Directors.

Stefano Rivera has been CEO of Scabal since June 2013. He holds a diploma in mechanical engineering and an MBA from ESSEC in Paris. He has more than 20 years experience in manufacturing, sales, marketing and retail from working in various national and regional roles in several countries.

Since 2000 Stefano has held various positions at multinational corporations based in France and Belgium. In Paris Stefano managed export business development for Carrier Corporation (a division of UTC) before joining  Sperian Protection (now Honeywell Safety Products) as VP Marketing. In 2007 he moved to Brussels where he held positions as Director Retail Europe for Bridgestone and Managing Director Retail EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) for the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company, before joining Scabal in 2013.
