Sergio Marchionne, the former head of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, has died.
Marchionne, 66, suffered complications from a recent shoulder surgery at a hospital in Zurich, and was replaced as CEO last weekend when his ill health prevented him from continuing in a leadership role.
“Unfortunately, what we feared has come to pass. Sergio Marchionne, man and friend, is gone,” confirmed FCA chairman John Elkann, of the controlling Agnelli family, in a statement.
The Italian-Canadian had been CEO of Fiat since 2004, and led the FCA group following Fiat and Chrysler's merger in 2011. He was due to step down as CEO next year.
