Coppa will head the Finance and Control Administration department; Francesco Garello, Personnel and Organisation; Antonio Ghini will lead the Department of Communication and Brand Management, with Brand Development and Partners being managed by Antonello Perricone. Luca Cordero di Montezemolo was born in Bologna on 31st August 1947. After graduating in Law from the University of Rome in 1971, he specialised in International Commercial Rights at Colombia University in New York. He began his professional career in the Chiomenti law offices in Rome and at Bergreen & Bergreen in New York. From 1973 to 1977 he was assistant to Enzo Ferrari and Team Manager of the Scuderia Ferrari, winning two World Drivers’ championships in 1975 and 1977 with Niki Lauda. From 1977 to 1981 he took on the role of Director of External Relations for the Fiat group. Between 1981 and 1983 he was named Managing Director of Itedi Spa, the holding company that controls all the editorial activities of Cinzano International Spa and headed team Azzurra, the first Italian entrant in the America’s Cup. From 1986 to 1990 he was Director of the World Cup Organising Committee for Italia ‘90. Since 1991, Montezemolo has been President and Managing Director of Ferrari Spa and, after Ferrari’s acquisition of Maserati in July 1997, he assumed the same role in Maserati Spa. After the nomination of a new Managing Director, he has continued in the role of President of the House of the Trident. From May 2004, Luca di Montezemolo took on the important role of the President of the Association of Italian Industrialists (Confindustria) and, very shortly after, in June, President of the FIAT Group.
