A letter from the new Leica USA president Mike Giannattasio

By LR admin | Published: July 14, 2020

Dear Leica Family,

It is with the utmost excitement and honor to introduce myself as President of Leica Camera North America.

There are great shoes to fill with the departure of my predecessor Roger Horn, who has so graciously guided me throughout the past few months as we eased into this transition. His boundless legacy and passion will undoubtedly be a part of the Leica footprint forever.
