MILAN, Italy — Italy's Tod's appointed a former Google executive as chief digital and innovation officer to ramp up its ongoing digital transformation, the shoes and leather goods company said on Friday.

Dubbed Tod's Factory, the new strategy was launched in late 2017 to reverse falling sales and refresh the group's namesake brand. It offers new products and more frequent collections, backed by significant marketing investment.
