lastminute.com announces appointment of Ludovic Boisseau as Chief Financial Officer

Ludovic will succeed Diego Fiorentini, who has decided to step down from his role as CFO after nearly three years with the Group and pursue his next professional mission. Diego will remain as CFO until 15 November 2026, overseeing the upcoming Q3 reporting cycle, and will stay with lastminute.com until the end of the year to facilitate a smooth handover and support Ludovic as he assumes his new responsibilities.

Diego joined lastminute.com at a demanding time for the Group and played a key role in establishing financial discipline and improving the company’s financial position. During his tenure, he led the evolution of the finance function, with a strong focus on cash generation, working capital and structural cost efficiency. At the same time, he transformed treasury and payments from a cost function into a value generating function, delivering both structural cost savings and new revenue streams. He also strengthened the role of Finance as a business partner across the organisation, supporting the Group through a period of substantial operational and organisational change.

Ludovic Boisseau joins the Group and will work closely with Diego during the transition period before assuming the Chief Financial Officer role on 16 November 2026. Ludovic brings extensive financial leadership and international experience across technology-enabled and marketplace platforms. His track record is underpinned by an eight-year tenure as CFO at Primagaz France, where he built deep expertise across strategic finance, cost management, and corporate leadership. Most recently, he served as CFO at BlaBlaCar, the international shared mobility and travel marketplace, following senior leadership and transformation roles at IVC Evidensia, Parella, and Europcar France.

Alessandro Petazzi, Chief Executive Officer of lastminute.com said: “I am delighted to welcome Ludovic to lastminute.com. As we enter our next phase of development, his experience will be valuable as we continue to develop our financial capabilities, build a simpler, more efficient operating model and leverage AI to support our long-term competitiveness.

I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Diego for everything he has contributed to lastminute.com. Having worked closely together since I joined the company at the start of 2025, I know first-hand the commitment, financial discipline and expertise he has brought to the business. Diego played an important role in strengthening the financial foundations of the Group, improving the quality of our cash generation and helping us build a more efficient and resilient organisation. He leaves lastminute.com well positioned for its next phase of development, and I am grateful that he will remain with us through the end of the year to support Ludovic during the transition. I wish Diego every success in his next chapter and look forward to what comes next for him.”

Ludovic becomes part of the Group’s management team from his first day. He will join the executive management team when he formally assumes the role of CFO on November 16, 2026.

Commenting on his appointment, Ludovic Boisseau, said: “It was an interesting opportunity to say yes to lastminute.com. I’m really pleased to be joining at such an exciting time for the company and the industry. I’m also grateful that Diego will support me over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition. I look forward to partnering with Alessandro and the senior management team as we continue to build an AI-powered travel company.”
