Bizzarri denies rumors of CEO position at Ferrari
Bizzarri himself denied the rumours. "For people like me, who were born near Maranello and still live there, Ferrari is a legendary brand," Bizzarri said in a conversation with WWD.
"But I am already at the helm of another Italian legend. It brings a smile to my face to read reports that say 'Bizzarri at the helm of Ferrari,' but if anything, that makes me regret not becoming a race car driver. The rest is just gossip," Bizzarri concluded.
More names are being mentioned from the luxury industry. This would be a deliberate choice by Ferrari, in the search for a CEO who can make as much money as possible for the brand.
