John Elkann is a French-Italian businessman, the billionaire Chairman and CEO of Exor N.V. (the holding company of the Agnelli family) and Chairman of Stellantis N.V. (automotive giant, Fiat-Chrysler + PSA). Born in New York City, in 1976, he is a member of the influential Agnelli family, who founded the Fiat auto brand.

Elkann received a scientific baccalauréat from Lycée Victor Duruy in Paris and an engineering degree from Politecnico di Torino in 2001. His education was structured by his grandfather, Gianni Agnelli, who groomed him for the family business through diverse internships (headlamp factory in the U.K., production line in Poland, car dealership in France). His philosophy centers on building great companies, long-term stability, and preserving iconic industrial legacies.

• Exor N.V. (Chairman & CEO): The core holding company of the Agnelli family, with interests in automotive (Stellantis, Ferrari), finance (Partners Re), and publishing (The Economist).
• Stellantis N.V. (Chairman): The massive global automaker formed by the merger of Fiat Chrysler (FCA) and PSA in 2021.
• Ferrari N.V. (Chairman): He leads the iconic luxury and sport competitions brand.
• Philanthropy: He chairs the Agnelli Foundation, focusing on education, and is a trustee of MoMA (Museum of Modern Art).

John Elkann's strategic genius was his hands-on experience gained from diverse factory roles before assuming leadership. He joined the Fiat Group in 2003 and was instrumental in its turnaround and merger with Chrysler, leading to the creation of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). He later orchestrated the merger of FCA and PSA in 2021 to form Stellantis, one of the world's largest car manufacturers.

He has served as Chairman of Ferrari since 2018. In 2023, he founded Lingotto, a long-term investment management company. His structural contribution is immense: preserving the Agnelli/Fiat legacy while creating one of the world's largest automotive conglomerates. He remains a Board Member of Meta and a key figure in global governance.

John Elkann's social impact is structural, stemming from the Stellantis/Ferrari empire's role as a massive global employer and economic driver. His chairmanship of the Agnelli Foundation provides a massive structural contribution to education and social policy. His founding of Vento (an early-stage venture platform) supports Italian founders.

His structural contribution is tied to his belief that his life has always about being confronted with an environment where you had to adapt, leading him to champion globalization and industrial consolidation.

John Elkann maintains the professional, elegant style of a European industrialist. His attire is consistently bespoke, favoring tailored suits. His aesthetic reflects stability and immense corporate authority, blending Italian heritage with global financial acumen.

Residing in Turin, Italy, his luxury is the immense security and financial reward derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to automotive governance, investment management, and the long-term stewardship of the Agnelli family legacy.
