Robert Polet (born July 25, 1955) was the former CEO of Gucci Group and prior to that worked as the president of the ice cream and frozen foods division of Unilever.
A self-described "modern gypsy", he moved frequently from country to country and his international experience was one of the attributes the Gucci owner, PPR, was looking for at Gucci's CEO position.
He won the 2007 Fortune European Businessman of the Year award by Fortune Magazine.
