Volvo Cars today announces changes to its Executive Management Team, including the appointment of new members and revised responsibilities across key areas and regions.
The changes
are designed to strengthen Volvo Cars' leadership team
and organisation for
an increasingly regionalised world, a fast-transforming
automotive industry and new customer expectations in a highly competitive
market.
Alexander
Petrofski will join the Executive Management Team (EMT) as Chief
Technology Officer, succeeding Anders Bell. Anders Bell will take on
a new responsibility, leading a newly formed key strategic startup initiative
within Volvo Cars, defining opportunities to scale Volvo
Cars’ developed platform and digital technology. Anders will report to the
CEO.
“I would
first like to thank Anders for his significant contributions over the past few
years,” said
Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars. “Anders has played a pivotal part
in advancing our technology and software to a frontrunner position,
as seen by the successful EX60. We are now entering a new
phase based on this strong technological foundation laid for our
upcoming models. I am therefore pleased to welcome Alexander Petrofski to the
EMT as our new Chief Technology Officer, leading us into this new
phase.”
Magnus
Nilsson, currently Head of the Ghent plant in Belgium, will join
the EMT as Volvo Cars’ new Chief Manufacturing Officer,
responsible for Production and Manufacturing Engineering. Francesca Gamboni
will take on a more focused role as Chief Procurement and Supply Chain
Officer.
“These
changes strengthen our leadership
team, reflecting the future priorities and swift
execution needed for Volvo Cars’ next phase,” said Håkan Samuelsson.
The changes
are effective from September 1.
