Joining in November, Vissia will lead international tenant representation for luxury brands, focusing on Europe, the US, Middle East, and Asia. 
Her previous roles at Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE involved advising luxury and high street retail clients. 
As director in Global Luxury Retail, Vissia will guide Savills' clients on market entry, expansion, and location choices. Her Milan base will allow Savills to offer more localized yet globally connected advice during a transformative period for the luxury retail sector.
Anthony Selwyn, co-head of Prime Global Retail at Savills, said: “This strategic hire in Milan comes at a decisive moment for luxury retail. As competition intensifies and prime space becomes more constrained, the combination of deep local expertise and global connectivity is no longer optional – it’s essential. Amanda’s appointment strengthens our ability to advise clients navigating through the complexities of a rapidly evolving market within the luxury sphere, where the quality of location, architectural integrity, and brand alignment are more critical than ever.”
Amanda Vissia, director in Global Luxury Retail, Savills Italy, added: “Luxury retail is at a defining moment. Brands are reassessing their global footprints, placing greater emphasis on experience, authenticity, and long-term value creation. Joining Savills allows me to contribute to a world-class advisory platform, while leveraging deep local market insight to navigate fast-evolving retail landscape. I’m ready to collaborate with clients to unlock opportunities that are not only commercially sound, but also true to their brand’s identity and vision.”
