About

Carlo Daneo is a hugely respected lawyer with ample experience in the automotive industry, having overseen some of the most complex corporate and commercial matters in the sector as far as the European market is concerned. Daneo is known in the industry for playing a significant leading role during his previous ten-year role at Italian automotive giant Fiat, where he led a challenging demerger which saw the industrials and car manufacturing parts of the business split into separate listed companies. Daneo’s proven competence with this transaction led to his appointment into his current role as general counsel for luxury sports car manufacturer, Ferrari, in July 2015, just as it was about to begin a difficult spin off from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Daneo contributed to the series of operations that led to Ferrari’s eventual separation from the parent company at the beginning of 2016. The transaction included a restructuring that placed assets into a new holding company and a listing of common shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “Race”. With Daneo’s formidable understanding of the auto industry, Ferrari continues to go from strength to strength, growing in a rapidly expanding markets with high demand for luxury goods.
