Sergio Marchionne, who engineered turnarounds to save both Fiat and Chrysler from near-certain failure, has died.
Marchionne, 66, passed away after suffering complications following recent surgery in a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland.
The holding company of the Agnelli family, which founded Fiat, confirmed the news today.
Italian-Canadian Marchionne joined Fiat in 2004 and led the Turin-based company's merger with bankrupt U.S. carmaker Chrysler. He built the dysfunctional companies into the world's seventh-largest automaker.
