Separately, Ducati said CEO Carlo Di Biagio has resigned for personal reasons and board chairman Federico Minoli will assume chief executive responsibilities.
“We are very grateful to Carlo for his important contributions to Ducati since the early days of the turnaround, and in particular during the busy period of the IPO in 1999,” said Minoli. “We have asked him — and he has agreed — to continue to support the company in a consultancy role which will allow us to benefit further from his deep knowledge of the company.”
Di Biagio was appointed CEO of Ducati in July 2000. Previously, as of May 1997, he was CFO at the Company. As CEO, Di Biagio invested heavily in new product, including the new 999 Superbike and Multistrada, and led the company’s entry into the Moto GP championship in 2003.
