The Fondazione CrC experienced a seven-month vacancy in the general director position following the departure of Roberto Giordana. The vacancy was marked by an internal stalemate within the board of directors, which was divided between candidates Paolo Bertolino and Enea Cesana.

Following a selection process involving a professional search firm, the board appointed Paolo Bertolino as the new Director General. Bertolino, a lawyer and Secretary General of Unioncamere Piemonte, succeeds the previous leadership after a period of deadlock that included the withdrawal of candidate Giuliana Cirio.
