Ferrari hires iPhone innovator as CEO to hasten tilt to tech
The man who helped the iPhone sense when it’s been tilted sideways is taking over as CEO of Ferrari NV, highlighting the growing dominance of technology in the auto industry that’s witnessing its most profound transformation in more than a century.
The iconic Italian supercar maker announced Wednesday that it recruited Benedetto Vigna, 52, from chipmaker STMicroelectronics NV to become chief executive officer starting Sept. 1.
