Until 2002, he worked as a Radar Systems Analyst, Designer, and Integrator of Multifunctional Naval Radar and then as Sales Director for the Terrestrial Systems Division, first for the South America region and then for the Europe/NATO area.
In 2002, he was appointed Head of Product Strategy in MBDA (a joint venture in the missile sector between Finmeccanica, BAE Systems, and Airbus), a position he held until 2006 when he moved to SELEX Sistemi Integrati (former Finmeccanica Group) of which he became Deputy General Manager (from July 2010 to November 2011) and then General Manager (from December 2011 to December 2012).
From January 2013 to December 2015, he was Head of the Terrestrial and Naval Defense Electronics Division of Selex ES[2] (the new company for defense electronics into which the former Finmeccanica Group companies Selex Sistemi Integrati, Selex Galileo, and Selex Elsag merged), until Selex ES merged within Leonardo (the new name of Finmeccanica as of 2016).
In January 2016[3], Mariani held several positions of increasing importance within the Leonardo Group. He was head of the Land and Naval Defense Electronics Division from January 2016 to September 2017, before becoming, in October 2017, Commercial Director and, subsequently, in May 2018, also CEO of Leonardo International[4].
