Ferrari is shaking things up at the top just one month after the debut of its first EV.Earlier this week, the Italian sports car maker announced its longtime chief marketing and commercial officer, Enrico Galliera, is leaving the company. His role in Ferrari's leadership group will be filled by Massimiliano Di Silvestre, who was previously the president and CE.More from Robb ReportMorgan Just Unveiled an Ultra-Limited Retro-Style Hardtop CoupéOld Fitzgerald Just Dropped a Spring Edition of Its Unicorn Decanter Series BourbonMeet Opal, a $53 Million Mega-Mansion in Beverly Hills With a Pickleball Court on the RoofAdvertisementAdvertisementIn a press release announcing the news, the marque said Galliera, who has served as its head of marketing since 2010, "has decided to embark on a new chapter in his professional journey," and that he informed his bosses of his intention to do so "some time ago." His replacement, Di Silvestre, is set to begin work on July 1 and will report directly to the company's chief executive officer, Benedetto Vigna.The Ferrari Luce was unveiled to the public in late March"I would like to thank Enrico for the extraordinary contribution he has made to Ferrari throughout his long career," Vigna said of Galliera in a statement. "With passion and expertise, he has played a significant role in the Company's growth and in strengthening the Ferrari brand worldwide. He has the gratitude of the entire Ferrari team and my personal best wishes for the future."During his time at the company, Galliera helped the automaker strengthen its global brand, more than double deliveries, and significantly increase revenue, according to Motor1.com. The executive also played a major role in the launch of the marque's first electrified model, the hybrid LaFerrari, and unveiling its first fully battery-powered model, the Luce. Ferrari's announcement states it was the executive's decision to leave (and Reuters reports he informed the brand of his intention at the beginning of the year), but it's hard not to notice that the move comes just one month after the brand's first EV made its public debut.The EV's look, both inside and out, has been heavily criticizeIn a little over a month, the Luce has proven to be one of the most divisive automobiles in recent memory. The purists were always going to take issue with a Prancing Horse that had an electric powertrain instead of snarling internal combustion engine, but its unorthodox design, courtesy of Jony Ivy's LoveFrom studio, has received just as much criticism. Some have even compared the 550,000 euro EV's look to that of the $30,000 Nissan Leaf. The backlash was so fierce that Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman, while not referring to Ferrari by name, told CNBC that he was confident his company made the right decision in cancelling its first EV.AdvertisementAdvertisementIt should be noted that while Ferrari's stock price dipped in the immediate wake of the reveal, it has risen by more than 11 percent in the month since. The Luce could still turn out to be a success, too, but that's a new head of marketing's problem now.Best of Robb ReportThe 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine BeastThe World's Best Superyacht ShipyardsThe ABCs of Chartering a YachtSign up for RobbReports's Newsletter.
