As Alfa Romeo prepares to re-enter the U.S. market, they've tapped a new boss for their design center: Frank Stephenson.

Stephenson, an Art Center grad who once worked for GM and Ford, is perhaps best known for designing the new Mini while at BMW. Most recently he served as design director of Ferrari and Maserati, and his new Fiat 500 (pictured above) is coming out this year.

In addition to being a talented designer, Stephenson speaks no less than eight languages--English, French, Spanish, Norwegian, Arabic, Turkish, German, and Italian. All of us have padded our resumes at some point, but if you want a job at Alfa, you'd better crank it up a notch!
