Leonardo’s Board of Directors today approved the Group’s new organization structure.

Chairman Francesco Macrì will assume full responsibility for the Corporate Bodies Affairs Organizational Unit and, together with Chief Executive Officer and General Manager Lorenzo Mariani, will oversee activities related to Group Security, Institutional Affairs, and Sustainability. In addition, the Chairman will be responsible, within the Board of Directors, for overseeing the activities of the Internal Audit Organizational Unit, without prejudice to the responsibilities of the other parties involved in the internal control and risk management system. In carrying out the powers delegated to him, he will also be supported by the People & Organisation, Communication, Compliance, and Legal Affairs Organizational Units, reporting directly to the CEO. 

Chief Executive Officer and General Manager Lorenzo Mariani, who will also assume interim responsibility for Institutional Affairs, will have direct reporting lines from Co-General Manager Gian Piero Cutillo; the People & Organisation, Strategy, Technology & Innovation, Commercial and Business Development, Legal Affairs, and Communication Organizational Units; as well as all Business Divisions (Helicopters, Aircraft, Electronics, Space, Cyber Security, and Automation), in addition to overseeing the Participated and Controlled Companies.

Co-General Manager Gian Piero Cutillo, who has been entrusted with the interim management of the Procurement & Operations Governance Organizational Unit, will oversee the Finance & Investor Relations, Risk Management, Compliance, M&A and Post-Merger Integration, and Digital Solutions & Infrastructure Organizational Units, in addition to the Group’s service provider Leonardo Global Solutions and Leonardo International.

“Together with our colleagues,” said Lorenzo Mariani, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Leonardo, “we face an intense period of work to maintain the Group’s strong competitiveness, increase its production capacity, and accelerate innovation, particularly in emerging domains. With this objective in mind, we must further strengthen Leonardo’s leadership by reinforcing its industrial, technological, and international growth, while continuing to create value for the country, our shareholders, and all the people who work across the Group. It will also be essential to accelerate the execution and delivery of systems already in production or nearing entry into service, while increasing the efficiency and production capacity of Leonardo and its entire supply chain.”

“I would like to express,” commented Leonardo Chairman Francesco Macrì, “my appreciation for the work carried out so far and my full confidence in the skills, professionalism, and dedication of Leonardo’s people, who are the true driving force behind the Company’s success. The Board of Directors and I will continue to support management in pursuing the Group’s strategic objectives, confident that Leonardo will further strengthen its competitiveness, seize the significant opportunities offered by international markets, and consolidate its role as a leading force in innovation and technological development, making a decisive contribution to the growth of the country’s industrial and technological capabilities.”
