https://www.wsj.com/articles/ferrari-ceo-louis-camilleri-resigns-after-bout-with-covid-19-11607643067 MILAN—Ferrari NV Chief Executive Louis Camilleri resigned unexpectedly from the Italian luxury sports-car maker after being hospitalized for Covid-19. On Thursday, Mr. Camilleri also resigned with immediate effect as chairman of Philip Morris International Inc. where he had been employed for four decades. Mr. Camilleri, 65, has left the hospital and is finishing his recovery at home, according to a person familiar with the situation. Ferrari said he had resigned for unspecified personal reasons. John Elkann, Ferrari’s chairman and the head of the Italian family that owns a controlling stake in the car marker, will take over as CEO until a permanent replacement can be found. Mr. Camilleri is also resigning from Ferrari’s board.
Waiting by my phone for the "call". Nothing yet! But I remain hopeful. I can work remotely for now.....
Hope not. This guy was a smoker and seems he was hospitalized the last two weeks with COVID, though he’s out now and at home in New York. Don’t understand how you can run a company from across an ocean and maybe a good reason why you’d want to have an Italian in charge—for all those people who think Ferrari is “too Italian”
The soul of this company must remain deeply Italian, I would even say Emilienne ( Emilia-Romagna) . Difficult to find someone who can reconcile financial returns and a passionate vision..
I goes to prove that, for the foreseeable future, "COVID-19" will continue to be the excuse/scapegoat to justify any action/decision.
Even though this guy wasn’t seen as a good fit it’s just the instability and leadership vacuum is something they could have done without. Hopefully they make an inspired selection and just choose something who is well connected.
We’re saved, a Brit! For all those complaining about too many Italians, let’s see how this works out, if true: https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/fiat-chryslers-manley-pole-position-ferrari-ceo-job-paper-says All kidding apart, he seems a good choice, IMO.
