Banfi has decided to reorganize and make its governance model more aligned with the current times and dynamics. The change is from the perspective of cultural continuity and greater integration between US and Italian management.
Specifically, Enrico Viglierchio, in addition to maintaining the role of General Manager of the group, assumes the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Banfi Società Agricola Srl. To support him, as Vice-President, Gabriele Mazzi, CFO of Banfi Srl and Banfi Società Agricola Srl.
Rodolfo Maralli has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Banfi Srl. He will also continue as Sales and Marketing Director, External Communications, and Press Relations. Vice-Presidents of the company have been appointed Enrico Viglierchio, Gabriele Mazzi, and Elizabeth Koenig, recently appointed as Hospitality Director of Castello Banfi Wine Resort.
Cristina Mariani-May, Philip Calderone, and Jason Arfin are the other members of both Boards of Directors.
In the new governance model, the creation of an Executive Committee stands out. Chaired by Cristina Mariani-May, it will include the members of the two BoDs. It has functions of strategic planning and medium-long-term direction. All to reaffirm the ultimate goal of this organizational path: the integration of the two souls, Italian and American, and the drive toward innovation and change.
Cristina Mariani-May increases her position as the protagonist of the Banfi of the future. She comments: "I thank the entire Banfi team for the journey made and, above all, for the radiant future that we still have to write. A warm thanks go to Remo Grassi for his over 40 years of passion and dedication to our company. The new organization projects us towards a new way of working together, as a single company, to meet and overcome the challenges of the future: for a better wine world".
