However, Mariani did not go away empty-handed, as he is taking on the role of co-general manager at Leonardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the role comes with real responsibility: Leonardo\u2019s division heads will report to him, a company source told Defense News on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving Mariani a senior role involves some risk. In 2002, two managers asked to jointly run Leonardo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2016\/04\/28\/it-s-official-finmeccanica-is-now-leonardo\/\" target=\"_blank\">then known as Finmeccanica<\/a>. But the hierarchy didn\u2019t work out, and one executive, Roberto Testore, was jettisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the division level, the new CEO has decided most managers will keep their jobs, including Marco Zoff at the aircraft division, Gian Piero Cutillo at helicopters, Stefano Bortoli at aerostructures and Tommaso Profeta at cyber systems, the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But at the electronics division, Gabriele Pieralli is being replaced by Marco De Fazio, the former No. 2 at the business unit. Pieralli is now taking up an executive role at Telespazio, a space services company Leonardo controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And former Leonardo strategy chief Giovanni Soccodato replaced Mariani as boss of MBDA\u2019s Italian arm on June 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the number of managers running corporatewide tasks for personnel, legal affairs, compliance, finance and sustainability are now reduced to eight from 13 as Cingolani slims down top management, the firm announced Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cingolani himself will take responsibility for strategy and technology business activities, a role similar to the one he had at the firm between 2019 and 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also a new role for Leonardo\u2019s space division, reflecting the firm\u2019s growing interest in the field. Franco Ongaro, a former European Space Agency staffer, is stepping up as manager for the unit. Ongaro had succeeded Cingolani as chief technology and innovation officer when the latter left Leonardo in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what the change of
