TIME has named
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat and Chrysler Group to the
2011 TIME 100, the magazine’s annual list of the
100 most influential people in the world.
The list, now in its eighth year, recognizes the
activism, innovation and achievement of the world’s most
influential individuals. As TIME Managing Editor
Richard Stengel has said of the list in the past, “The
TIME 100 is not a list of the most powerful
people in the world, it’s not a list of the smartest
people in the world, it’s a list of the most influential
people in the world. They’re scientists, they’re
thinkers, they’re philosophers, they’re leaders, they’re
icons, they’re artists, they’re visionaries. People who
are using their ideas, their visions, their actions to
transform the world and have an effect on a multitude of
people.”
Marchionne was named CEO of Chrysler Group in June 2009.
On January 1, 2011, he was appointed Chairman of Fiat
Industrial S.p.A, resulting from the demerger with Fiat
S.p.A, and maintains his role as Chief Executive Officer
of Fiat S.p.A. Previously, Marchionne was appointed
Chairman of Case New Holland (CNH) in April 2006 and
Chief Executive Officer of Fiat Group Automobiles in
February 2005. He was appointed Chief Executive Officer
of Fiat S.p.A. in June 2004 and has been a member of the
board since May 2003.
In 2010, he joined the board of directors of Exor S.p.A.
Marchionne also serves as a member of the board of
Philip Morris International Inc. and a member of the
General Council of Confindustria (the employers
association of Italy), of Assonime (the association of
Italian joint stock companies), and of ACEA (European
Automobile Manufacturers Association). He is a permanent
member of the Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli. He is also a
member of the board of the Peterson Institute for
International Economics and the Chairman of the Italian
Branch of the Council for the United States in Italy.
Marchionne continues to serve as Chairman of SGS SA
headquartered in Geneva. He previously served as the
