Danilo Broggi is the new CEO of Atac, which changes hands for the seventh time in the last 5 years after the shareholders' meeting held today. Broggi, a 53-year-old Milanese, will be the first manager of the Capitoline transport company in the Marino era. After the experience at Poste, the former CEO of Consip will inherit a company in dramatic conditions from Roberto Diacetti.
The willingness to call a capable manager, regardless of his territorial origins but above all to his political precedents (at Consip Broggi had been sponsored by the League and by Tremonti), is a credit to the new mayor of the capital.
For Broggi, Atac will be a bit like his Vietnam. The financial state of Atac, in fact, is even worse than expected: the transport company, to date, finds itself with 750 million debts, 350 towards the banks and the remainder towards suppliers, and the risk of collapse it gets more and more serious. As Mayor Marino said a few days ago, it is a company that "needs to be reorganized if it doesn't want to end up like Alitalia". For this Broggi will have to proceed with a drastic slimming cure: there is already talk of the cut of at least 20 managers, while the others will suffer a salary reduction of around 10%.
During today's meeting, in addition to the choice of the new CEO, the service contract with the Capitol was also discussed, which must be renewed by July 31 until 2019.
