Modena, 19 September 2024 – Change in Maserati Corse senior management effective from 1 October 2024.
Maserati wishes to extend its sincere thanks to Giovanni Sgro for leading the brand’s sporting activities with great commitment and dedication for the last two years.
Sgro was tasked with bringing Maserati back into its natural environment, the track, and directed all operations relating to theABB FIA Formula E World Championship and the Fanatec GT2 European Series. From day one, Giovanni also worked on the development and launch of the exclusive Maserati MCXtrema halo car.

As of 1 October 2024, Maria Conti will become Head of Maserati Corse, reporting directly to Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO and operationally to Jean-Marc Finot, Senior VP, Stellantis Motorsport.

Maria Conti has over 20 years’ experience in communication in the automotive and lifestyle sector in the international arena.
Previously, she held the position of Chief Communication Officer for the House of the Trident, after a professional career at iconic, premium and luxury brands.
Now, on her return from maternity leave, Maria Conti is the first woman to head Maserati’s motorsport activities.

Cars and communication form part of her DNA: its watchwords include expertise, creativity and plenty of enthusiasm, which she will also bring between the kerbs as she helps to renew the brand’s competitive spirit.

Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO: “I would like to thank Giovanni for the passion with which he has supported Maserati’s return to the track and for helping to make Maserati Corse a reality. We have begun to write an important new chapter in the 110-year history of our Brand, which has returned to where it began, having racked up victories, satisfaction and major results on circuits all over the world. I wish Giovanni the best for his upcoming professional challenges, where he will be taking a leading role.
Maria is a member of the Maserati Family. I am particularly proud that a woman will now be leading our brand’s activities on the track and bringing her expertise, energy, and enthusiasm to motor racing”.

Maserati S.p.A.
Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars, immediately recognizable for their extraordinary personality. Thanks to their style, technology, and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a benchmark for the global automotive industry. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance, and safety, currently available in more than 70 markets internationally. Maserati line-up includes the Grecale, the “everyday exceptional” SUV, the GranTurismo, the iconic Italian grand tourer, and the GranCabrio, the new convertible of the Trident; all models characterized by the use of the highest quality materials and excellent technical solutions. A range equipped with 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains – available for Grecale – and V6 petrol, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, embodying the performance DNA of the Trident brand. The top of the range is made up of the MC20 super sports car and the MC20 Cielo spyder, powered by the ground-breaking 100% Maserati Nettuno V6 engine, which incorporates F1-derived technologies into the power unit of a standard production car for the first time. The GranTurismo is available with both the high-performance V6 petrol engine, derived from the Nettuno, and a 100% electric version: the GranTurismo Folgore, the first car in the Modena-based brand’s history to adopt this solution. Today the full-electric range includes also the Grecale Folgore, Maserati’s first full-electric SUV, and the latest addition, GranCabrio Folgore. By 2025, all Maserati models will also be available in a full-electric version, and the entire Maserati range will run on electricity alone by 2028.
