Maserati’s North American CEO steps down… after less than one year?
Marti Eulberg, CEO of Maserati North America, has left her position to “pursue other opportunities,” the company announced today. Eulberg, a veteran of Ford and Jaguar, held the CEO position for less than a year after taking the position just last June.
As it as been with most of the world’s automakers, 2009 has been a tough year for the Fiat-owned automaker. Only 247 Maserati vehicles had been sold through March of this year in the U.S., representing a sales decline of 58 percent.
As quoted in AutoWeek, Raffaele Fusilli, Maserati’s global commercial director said:
“We deeply value the concrete effort of Marti and the MNA team… During a very challenging time, Maserati was one of the very few automotive players in North America to post a positive result in terms of sales in 2008, thus contributing to the second-consecutive record year achieved by the company worldwide.
Fusilli will oversee Maserati’s North American operations until a successor is announced.
