Acquabella is pleased to announce the addition of Leslie Delli-Venneri as vice president–architect & designer engagement for the North American market. 

With more than 25 years of experience in the design world including 15 in the decorative plumbing industry, Delli-Venneri brings a wealth of expertise and a singular skill set that will play a pivotal role in helping Acquabella continue its successful launch into the U.S. and Canada. The brand is part of The Engineered Stone Group, a European holding company and global leader in engineered stone products. The Group has been headlining industry news recently with its acquisition of MTI Baths and Aquatica to join other ES Group companies including Marmite, Acquabella, F&D Group, MC Bath, Fiora and Nuovvo.

“Adding Leslie to our team fuels our momentum to be a leader in luxury bath products,” said Eric Phelps, president North America–emerging brand sales. “Leslie is a consummate professional with a contagious energy. She has spent years establishing relationships within the architect and design community, and she is dedicated to the bath and shower space. She has a clear vision on creating bath environments that reflect the passion of the projects. We are beyond delighted to have her on the team.”

Delli-Venneri was a previous business development manager for Victoria + Albert Baths and worked in marketing with the architect and design community at Fisher & Paykel Appliances. She is a WELL Accredited Professional (WELL APTM), a prestigious credential signifying advanced knowledge of health and well-being in the built environment.

“Pinch me!” said Delli-Venneri. “I am so blessed to be doing what I love and working with my ‘old’ boss and rep agencies again. That is already amazing. Then there is the exciting challenge of introducing an extraordinary Spanish brand in the US. It is truly a dream opportunity.”

Acquabella launched in North America in 2021 with a strategic focus towards small business entrepreneurs, including architects, designers, showroom owners and specialty builders. The brand can trace its roots more than 25 years to its origin in Spain and continues to translate that background today into an enduring passion for design and craftsmanship.
