Ducati North America’s Marketing Department will be in place in new offices in Cupertino, California by the third week of January, according to new PR & Events Manager Joey Madrigal.

Madrigal takes over the PR function most recently handled by Gary Schmidt and the Events function most recently handled by Jim Viola; Schmidt and Viola both have left the company, being unwilling to relocate from New Jersey to California, Madrigal said. Schmidt’s last day was December 13.

All of Ducati North America’s operations should be in place in Cupertino by mid-February.
