The Bertone family is strengthening operational control over its struggling Italian coachbuilder.
Last week Ermelinda "Lilli" Bertone, 71, Carrozzeria Bertone chairman and CEO, appointed her youngest daughter, Barbara, as managing director.
Barbara Bertone, 38, faces a tough challenge: She must find work for the contract assembler.
