Talk:Remo Ruffini (businessman)

Expanding the biography
Hi all, I have gathered information available on Remo Ruffini, rewritten it for Wikipedia and found sources to back it up. You can find below in yellow my additions to the current biography. What do you think?

Lead section Slightly reviewed Remo Ruffini (born August 1961) is an Italian entrepreneur, chairman and CEO of the luxury fashion company Moncler S.p.A. He controls Ruffini Partecipazioni Srl that owns 26,2% of Moncler S.p.A.

Early life I've expanded this section just a little Remo Ruffini is the son of Gianfranco Ruffini who, in the 70’s, was owner of a clothing company in New York called Gianfranco Ruffini ltd. . His mother, Enrica, owned a clothing company as well.

Career I've significantly expanded this section Ruffini started his career in the US, working for his father's eponymous clothing company, Gianfranco Ruffini ltd.

At 23, he returned to Italy and founded his company “New England”, which he sold sixteen years later (in 2000) to Stefanel Group. That same year, he started working as a creative consultant for the holding company which owned Moncler.

In 2003, Ruffini took over Moncler, which was almost bankrupt at the time, and transformed the company by reinventing the brand.

Ten years later, in December 2013, Remo Ruffini took the company public by listing it on Milan’s stock exchange. Within the first afternoon, the share price rose 47% taking the company’s value from $3.5 billion to $ 4 billion.

In 2018 Remo Ruffini conceived the Moncler Genius project, a new creative and business model where well-known designers create distinct collections interpreting Moncler’s identity that are released on monthly basis and are supported by innovative communication plans.

The following information is incorrect, the source does not back it up - In 1999, Ruffini became creative director of Moncler, and a few years later bought the company for "an undisclosed amount" Cristiana Napoleone (talk) 16:44, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately there's not much to improve upon here. The two major claims of the article — that the subject first worked in their parents clothing store and then later began working alone in their own/purchased company — are already present. The proposed changes do not radically alter that narrative.
 * The source for the undisclosed amount claim of purchase which the COI editor has described as "not backing it up" was added by the requesting COI editor. It's not known what the issue is with this particular source. Please advise.
 * Hi, I see your point. The content I have submitted, however, is mainly aimed at expanding the career section, which is currently quite lacking, in order to further support Ruffini's eligibility. Moreover, since the information I have provided is both written for Wikipedia and well-sourced, it could indeed do the job.


 * With regards to the sentence "In 1999, Ruffini became creative director of Moncler, and a few years later bought the company for 'an undisclosed amount' ", it currently comes across as generic (e.g "few years later" - furthermore, the year is wrong) and is better contextualised within the content highlighted in yellow.
