The day they announced his death, the news band turned into an uninterrupted stream of condolences and comparisons. Donald Trump compared it with Henry Ford, someone – with the legendary Chrysler leader, Lee Iacocca, too, I must say, Italian and also rescued (at the same time). time) of bankruptcy, and a great mark – of the disappearance

And it does not bother anyone that all this was done by a person who, in childhood, adolescence and even the same day. Mature, had nothing to do with the auto industry, and accidentally entered the industry. , random. He was born in the city of Chieti, in the family of carabinieri. With his homeland Sergio said goodbye at the age of 13 years. In Toronto, his father, Concecio Marcionne, had parents who persuaded the family to leave Italy relatively poor and move to a relatively prosperous Canada. In Toronto, Sergio graduated from high school and then graduated with a BA in philosophy. However, he decided not to stop: the philosopher's degree was completed by an accounting diploma, an MBA and later a lawyer.

In 1983, he joined Deloitte & Touche in Toronto, but after two years of work, he moved Lawson Mardon, a much less well-known company engaged in the production of packaging. He changed his workplace quite often for a while, and at the same time he moved to a higher position. Finally, he was invited to the post of general manager of the Swiss company chemo-pharmaceutical Alusuisse Lonza. He seemed to have reached his ceiling

Alusuisse remembers Alusuisse as former colleagues of Markionne, and he has made it an unusually energetic venture in three years. In this he was helped by an absolutely fantastic performance and what is called a "fresh look".

Markionne is not afraid to make decisions that former business or even industries may seem strange or completely unacceptable.

. The SGS Group, which provides certification services, independent expertise and testing, has been invited to the position of Managing Director.

When he was appointed managing director of one of the world's oldest auto companies, automotive experts did not hesitate to doubt that Markionna would do anything since FIAT, like the Impoverished Italian aristocrat, had nothing In pbading, in 2003, the last year without Markionne, the losses of the Fiat group amounted to $ 7 billion in 2003.

There were other milestones that almost nobody went, except for Markionne himself. In 2015, he initiated the award of Ferrari (one of the FIAT units) to a separate company with the sale of a portion of the stock market and the distribution of the rest among the shareholders of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA ). In recent years, Markionne has become one of the most enthusiastic fans of electric vehicles, ensuring that the century of internal combustion engines is disappearing.
