Bio
Ning Wang
Luca is an Executive who can work very well under an extremely challenging and complicated business environment, like at NAVECO a 50:50 JV between Chinese auto Giant SAIC and IVECO. It requires not only deep technical and managerial competences, but also strong mind-set, self-control and political skills to motivate all involved parties to reach the defined business strategy and targets. His time in China approved he has such capability. I am very pleased that he was member of the core Iveco China management team.
Marco Minelli
I've been working with Luca for more than 5 years on very challenging and complex projects from a business perspective as well as a cultural perspective. Luca covered at the time the position of Deputy General Manager in Naveco and, after that, the role of Commercial Vehicle product director for the Extra-Europe market. I've been impressed by his focus and determination on managing any complexity and his acumen to capture the key aspects to quickly come up with a solution. He has proven to be able to manage customer relationships at C-level, spanning from engineering, production, supply chain, and product management. Always sensitive to capture any cultural difference, he's was able to tailor his behavior and approach to any situation. He is definitively a very tough negotiator, well prepared, and supported by his technical and commercial background.
