Ferrari changes its face and begins a real revolution in the manufacturing area. Benedetto Vigna, chief executive officer of the Maranello brand, wasted no time: the Italian physicist and businessperson decided on a new organizational structure, consistent with his strategic objectives of exclusivity, excellence and sustainability.
The result? Three top managers from Maranello will end their collaboration with Ferrari to pursue new opportunities. Three important figures who have marked the recent history of the brand are on the way out: Nicola Boari, Chief Brand Diversification Officer, Michael Leiters, Chief Technology Officer, and Vincenzo Regazzoni, Chief Manufacturing Officer will leave at the end of the year.
In short, the head of the non-automotive business, the technical director (who was present at making of the 2026 Formula 1 engine rules alongside president John Elkann) and the head of the factory (which also produces the Scuderia’s F1 cars) were asked to leave their posts, to make way for the new management team chosen by John Elkann and Benedetto Vigna on the basis of what will be the future Ferrari in the next ten years.
Michael Leiters, a German national who joined Ferrari in 2014, has helped develop Ferrari’s recent most successful models, including the 2019’s SF90 Stradale and this year’s 296 GTB, the house’s first two hybrid electric cars.
