Giuseppe "Beppe" Marotta (born 25 March 1957) is an Italian football executive currently serving as Director General and Sports Department CEO of Italian football club Juventus. In 2014, he was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame.
In 1978, at the age of just 21, Marotta began his career in football when he was appointed as Director of Youth Department for his hometown club Varese. Just one year later, Marotta was promoted to Director General of Varese and in his first season in charge saw his team promoted back to Serie B. With Marotta as Director General, Varese would spend five consecutive seasons in Serie B.

After leaving Varese, Marotta was appointed Director General of Serie C1 club Monza. During his tenure at Monza, the club were promoted to Serie B and spent 2 seasons at that level, before relegation back down to Serie C1. After 4 season at Monza, Marotta moved on to serve as Director General for Como, in Serie C1, for 3 seasons and then at Ravenna for 2 seasons, also in Serie C1.
In 1995, Giuseppe Marotta was hired by Maurizio Zamparini to serve as Director General for Venezia, then in Serie B. While there, Venezia achieved a historic promotion back to Serie A in 1998, marking the club's first return to the top flight in more than 30 years. After 5 seasons at the club, Marotta left Venezia at the end of the 1999–2000 season, after Venezia was again relegated back down to Serie B. From Venezia, Marotta took over as Director General for Serie A club Atalanta, where he served for two seasons. During his time at Atalanta, the club finished 7th and 9th in the Serie A table.
