Tyst minut för Marchionne i italienska parlamentet

En tyst minut hölls i det italienska parlamentet när nyheten om Fiat-vd:n Sergio Marchionnes död nådde ledamöterna, rapporterar Corriere della Sera.

Ledamöterna i arbetsmarknads- och finansutskottet avslutade sedan den tysta minuten med en applåd, skriver tidningen.

”Jag tror att det bästa sättet att hedra hans minne är att leva efter det exempel han lämnade oss, att arbeta för den humanitet, ansvarsfullhet och öppenhet som han alltid företrädde”, skriver Fiat Chryslers ordförande John Elkann i ett uttalande.

Även Italiens tidigare premiärministrar Matteo Renzi och Paolo Gentiloni hyllar Marchionne.

bakgrund
 
Sergio Marchionne
Wikipedia (en)
Sergio Marchionne (Italian: [ˈsɛrdʒo marˈkjɔnne]; born June 17, 1952) is an Italian-Canadian executive who is currently the Chairman of CNH Industrial, the Chairman & CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the Chairman and CEO of Ferrari and also Chairman of Maserati. He is the Chairman of Swiss-based SGS and he was the non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board of the global banking group UBS from 2008 to 2010, as well as the elected Chairman of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association for 2012 (first elected in January 2006). He is also a member of the Peterson Institute for International Economics as well as Chairman of the Italian Branch of the Council for the United States and Italy. Noted for his keen observations of the automotive industry, Marchionne's insights range from frank criticism of his company's own products to a highly-regarded 2015 presentation titled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, extolling the benefits of industry consolidation.Marchionne is widely recognized for turning around Fiat Group to become one of the fastest growing companies in the auto industry, returning it to profitability in 2006 in less than two years. In 2009, he was instrumental in Fiat Group forming a strategic alliance with the ailing US automaker Chrysler, with the support of the US and Canadian governments and trade unions. Less than two years later, following its emergence from Chapter 11, Chrysler returned to profitability, repaying all government loans. In 2014, Fiat and Chrysler merged into a new holding company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, now the seventh-largest automobile manufacturer in the world.
