At Bugatti, he served as Director of Sales and Operations until 2021 and, with the creation of Bugatti Rimac, was appointed Managing Director in charge of Sales & Marketing for the Bugatti brand. Hendrik’s career focused on the intersection between customer experience, extreme customization, and the automotive heritage: this is evident in his public role in the launch of the Tourbillon, the revival of coachbuilding with Programme Solitaire, and the authentication, certification, preservation, and provenance promotion activities managed by La Maison Pur Sang. His sensitivity to heritage is also expressed in the brand's presence at major automotive culture events—from the world premiere of the Tourbillon to Monterey Car Week, Pebble Beach, Villa d'Este, and The I.C.E. St. Moritz — where Bugatti brings together historic models and contemporary creations, from the Type 35 and Type 57 to the commemorative Veyrons and new bespoke models.

In this dual capacity, he links lifecycle customer support with factory heritage management. On the Aftersales side, Giuliano’s focus is long-term value protection, maintenance, warranty extension, genuine parts, and the broader objective of accompanying each car from delivery to historic certification. Within Polo Storico, his role centers on archive-led preservation, authenticity certification, restoration, original spare parts, provenance research, and curated experiences for owners and collectors. Giuliano is a specialist in how originality, documentation, usability, and client service work together to sustain the cultural and market value of classic automobiles. Giuliano took Polo Storico leadership by 2021 as Head of Service and Polo Storico, adding oversight on Lamborghini Clubs in 2024, and full responsibility over After Sales in 2025. During this leadership phase, Polo Storico has foregrounded several emblematic initiatives: the reconstruction of the Countach LP 500 prototype after more than 25,000 hours of work; archive-based identification and certification of the Miura from The Italian Job; the tenth-anniversary heritage program; the restoration and certification of a 1972 Miura SV unveiled in Rome in 2026; and the Miura 60th Anniversary Giro for collectors. Giuliano completed his studies with Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna and Alma Graduate School Bologna. His public industry presence also includes heritage panels at Motor Valley Fest and ACI-linked classic-car forums, while Polo Storico-related cars in this period received recognition at St. Moritz, Anantara Concorso Roma, and Villa d’Este.
