Federica Guidi

Federica Guidi (born 19 May 1969) is an Italian businesswoman and the former Minister of Economic Development.

Early life and education Born in Modena, the daughter of the businessman Guidalberto, Guidi graduated in law, later working for two years as a financial analyst.

Career Leaving the financial career, in 1996 Guidi joined her family company, Ducati Energia, of which she subsequently became CEO.

Political career In February 2014, Guidi was appointed minister of Economic Development. Following this appointment, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest, she gave up all the operational positions she held in companies controlled by her family.

On 31 March 2016, Guidi resigned from her post following the disclosure of the transcripts of his fiancé's tapped phone. Guidi's partner, oil entrepreneur Gianluca Gemelli, is believed to have used his influence over her in order to help pass a piece of legislation that would have benefited him and his business partners. She was never formally accused of any wrongdoing and the investigation was closed without ever resulting in a trial.
