MILAN (Reuters) - Upmarket Italian food chain Eataly has appointed Andrea Cipolloni, former head of Autogrill Italia and Autogrill Europe, as its new chief executive officer.

Last month European private equity firm Investindustrial bought a majority stake in Eataly to accelerate the food chain's global expansion.

Eataly said it aims at "a significant turnover growth, thanks to the new openings planned in North America, the creation of new formats and the growth of the e-commerce channel, as well as the development of Eataly in Italy and Europe".
