SEBASTIANO Fedrigo has been appointed the new head of Leasys UK, the leasing company owned by FCA.

His appointment follows a significant change in senior Leasys management.

Alberto Grippo has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer at Leasys.

Married with three children, Alberto’s latest assignment was in Madrid where, from 2015, he led the operations of FCA Bank in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. It was in this role that, after taking FCA Bank’s first step outside Europe with the successful launch of the Moroccan operation, he led the implementation of the first European branch of Leasys in Spain.

Grippo is tasked with  the further internationalisation strategy of Leasys. Leasys now operates in six countries outside of Italy.

Giacomo Carelli (FCA Bank’s CEO) maintains his role as Chairman of the Board.

Elsewhere, Roberto Bellavia – the former Head of Leasys UK – moves to Leasys Belgium to replaces Danny Meulenberghs as the Head of Leasys Belgium.

Sebastiano Fedrigo, who now replaces Bellavia, was formerly Country Manager of the FIAT and Abarth brands in the UK.
