Isotta Fraschini, the Italian hypercar manufacturer, has made changes in its senior management. Claudio Berro, the motorsport manager who has been a key figure in the company’s racing initiatives, has departed. This change comes as recently appointed CEO Miguel Valldecabres assumes Berro’s responsibilities.
A statement from Isotta Fraschini read: “The entire management of Isotta Fraschini Milano Fabbrica Automobili intends to thank Claudio Berro for his commitment, which culminated with the participation in the French 24-hour race. The final result rewarded the quality of the vehicle and the entire organization, which worked hard for two years to achieve this precious goal.”
Valldecabres, who became CEO in June, will now oversee the motorsport division. The company says his appointment aligns with its strategy to expand its presence in the automotive market, including road-going supercars. Valldecabres’s responsibilities will also involve advancing plans for a two-car effort in the 2025 FIA WEC season.
President Alessandro Fassina commented, “Claudio Berro will remain close to Isotta Fraschini, not forgetting the commitment, passion and results obtained in defining the WEC project. The sports and production programs will continue along the lines traced to relocate the prestigious Italian brand where its historic coat of arms deserves.”
