Defence Turkey: Mr. Mariani, first of all we congratulate you on your new position. Could you please share your new vision, strategies and plans for Leonardo’s commercial activities following your assignment?

Thank you, it is a challenging role and I like this kind of challenge. The new commercial organization – made official with my appointment as Chief Commercial Officer in October 2017 – should be considered within a wider framework, specifically Leonardo’s 2018-2022 Industrial Plan, presented at the end of January 2018. The Plan – strongly backed by CEO Alessandro Profumo – aims to set the basis for the company’s long-term sustainable growth and, of course, commercial strategy is one of the crucial factors in achieving this.
