Ferrari Revs Up for IPO With Eyes on Marchionne
Ferrari, the Italian supercar manufacturer that will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange later this year, is considering appointing Chairman Sergio Marchionne as chief executive officer after Amedeo Felisa retires from the post in the coming months, people familiar with the matter said.
Marchionne, who is also CEO of Ferrari owner Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, may take full responsibility at the division before it’s spun off in early 2016, adding to his list of positions, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private talks before an official announcement. Felisa, 68, may keep an advisory role, said the people. Discussions about Felisa’s replacement are under way, and no final decision has been made, the people said. Ferrari declined to comment.
