This guy got the most envied position in automotive design.

Most envied when allowed to bring a range of new models to market. Not so much envied when he's damned to twiddling his thumbs like the designers in the last years.
But for that reason Alfa didn't have an exclusive design head for some time.

Believe, no one will envy this job in the future, JMO.
