Sergio Marchionne

1970 UC - 2019 Award Recipient

The late Sergio Marchionne was the CEO Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He immigrated to Canada with his parents at age 13, and in the spirit of many new Canadians who attended UC, succeeded through education, determination, and hard work. Known as a tough negotiator with a razor-sharp business acumen, direct managerial style, and non-stop work ethic, he returned the Italian automaker, Fiat SpA, to profitability in two years. He also played a key role in the merger between Fiat and Chrysler to form Fiat Chysler Automobiles, and turned the company around financially.
