Spanish fashion house Adolfo Domínguez continues to see changes at the top. The business has begun 2026 without a managing director following the departure of Íñigo de Llano, just five months after he joined, after his strategic approach failed to align with that of the board of directors, as reported by La Voz de Galicia.

The executive was appointed last May to take charge of the company, replacing Antonio Puente, whose removal as CEO was agreed by the board of directors at the same time. Coming from the Inditex group, De Llano brought more than two decades of experience in the textile industry, holding senior responsibilities across markets such as the US, Australia, the UK, and Ireland.
However, five months after his arrival, the relationship between the parties ended. According to company sources, shareholders concluded that the strategy put forward by the executive did not have the board’s backing, leading to the decision not to continue the working relationship.
At present, the managing director position remains vacant, while the company’s top executive duties have, since the removal of Antonio Puente as CEO, continued to rest with Adriana Domínguez, president of the company since 2020 and the founder’s daughter.
Founded in the 1970s by the eponymous designer, Adolfo Domínguez posted revenues of 65 million euros in the first half of the 2025 financial year, driven in particular by growth in its international sales. At the close of its latest financial year, the Ourense-based company had a network of 371 points of sale in 51 countries and a presence in 31 markets through its e-commerce platform.
