Luca De Meo has left his position at Fiat Automobiles, leaving the positions of general manager at both Alfa Romeo and Abarth uncovered, together with the marketing director’s position for the entire group.

The young Italian manager from Milan is one of the more charismatic personalities in the Italian automobile sector, along with Sergio Marchionne, and joined Fiat as Lancia’s marketing director, after experience at both Renault and Toyota. After his promotion to director of the entire brand, he was personally responsible for the successful re-launch of the Fiat 500, for which De Meo received an industry award.

Currently nothing is known as to the next project and work for De Meo, although rumours have it that he is looking for an overseas posting. No substitute at Fiat has been found, but it appears that an internal restructure is on the cards, with a complete overhaul internally.
