MILAN (Reuters) -Ferragamo's Chief Financial Officer Pierre La Tour is leaving the company as of September 26, after one and a half years in the role, to pursue new professional opportunities, the Italian luxury group said on Thursday.

Paolo La Morgia, currently planning and control director, will be the new CFO on an interim basis, it added.

Ferragamo has been looking for a new executive officer since its CEO Marco Gobbetti left the company in March.
