Federica Minozzi
CEO Iris Ceramica Group
Graduating with honours in Law at the University of Modena, Federica Minozzi joined the company when she was very young in 1997, studying and exploring various aspects of the ceramics industry, which was strategic for her own future and decisive in honing her managerial and entrepreneurial skills.
This initial period quickly paid off, and in 1999 Federica Minozzi became Managing Director of one of the Group’s major divisions, founded in 1998 with the name “Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti”. This unique sector focuses on the production of ceramic slabs inspired by the most precious marbles and granites found in nature.
In the following years, she held managerial positions in all the Group companies and business units, consolidating her experience in over 26 years of entrepreneurial activity.
Her very clear vision – to re-engineer ceramics to improve interaction between humans and the environment – underlines her bold and innovative spirit.
With her pioneering entrepreneurial vision, Federica Minozzi has helped shape the most recent innovations in the company’s technological solutions, in an original blend that has made her the ambassador of the concept of the beautility of ceramics: a noble material that brings together beauty, aesthetics, art and function.
Federica Minozzi’s business model, which enhances heritage while always looking to the future, technological innovation and sustainability, and seeing the central role of the company as a cultural driver, has helped her to make her mark on the ceramics industry and beyond.
In 2025, the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella awarded Federica Minozzi the title of Cavaliere del Lavoro, recognising her entrepreneurial commitments and professional career. This Prize celebrates her entrepreneurial spirit, courage, and foresight, along with her commitment to social and environmental impacts.
