Bertazzoni S.p.A., the six-generation, family-owned Italian appliance manufacturer, has named Kevin Headley as Chief Executive Officer of Bertazzoni North America, Inc. Headley, who brings 24+ years of success within the consumer durable goods industry, will lead the brand’s development in the United States.
“We are the oldest family-owned appliance company in the world, and as such, we are incredibly thoughtful about every new hire and appointment,” says Paolo Bertazzoni, CEO of Bertazzoni S.p.A. “Kevin’s deep experience in luxury appliances and retail and his sharp industry acumen make him a perfect fit for this key leadership role in one of Bertazzoni largest global markets.”
Headley was appointed earlier this week to the position by the Board of Directors of Bertazzoni North America. Previously, Headley held sales leadership roles at Sub-Zero Group, Whirlpool, and Rinnai.
“Bertazzoni is poised for exponential growth in the U.S., and I am honored to join the company at such a pivotal moment,” said Kevin Headley, CEO of Bertazzoni North America. “The brand’s craftsmanship, engineering excellence, and commitment to authentic Italian design have made it a favorite among interior designers and discerning consumers alike. I look forward to working with our talented team and valued partners to accelerate our momentum and further strengthen our presence across the market.”
Since entering the U.S. market in 2005, Bertazzoni has become a trusted name among interior designers, builders, and luxury kitchen professionals across the country. Bertazzoni opened its first American flagship showroom in 2022: Casa Bertazzoni, a 2,000-square-foot experience center in San Francisco’s Design District that showcases the full suite of Bertazzoni appliances in person. The brand’s innovation in design, performance, and manufacturing, rooted in its 140-year Italian heritage, continues to shape its growing product portfolio, including precision-engineered cooking appliances, premium refrigeration, and stylish finish options.
Under Headley’s leadership, Bertazzoni North America plans to expand distribution, release exciting new product offerings and elevate support for trade partners and consumers nationwide.
