Stellantis has just announced that Luca de Meo, current CEO of Lancia, will now also take on the role of new Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, replacing Thierry Koskas who, after successfully creating the global sales and marketing function, will now dedicate his strong experience in these areas to the expansion of the Citroën brand.
Luca Meo brings with him his sales knowledge and experience in the automotive industry, both in fleet sales and retail, as well as in dealer management and network development, having held positions in various countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
In addition, Olivier Bourges has been appointed Chief Customer Experience Officer, replacing Richard Schwarzwald who decided to leave Stellantis for personal reasons. Olivier Bourges will take on the challenge of achieving the company’s ‘Dare Forward 2030’ commitment to be number 1 in customer satisfaction, based on his deep knowledge of the industry and Stellantis operations.
To replace Olivier in his current position and as already planned, Clara Ingen-Housz, who joined the company in early 2024, will be appointed head of the Global Corporate Office & Public Affairs.
«Quiero aprovechar la oportunidad para agradecer calurosamente a Richard por su dedicación, por su concentración inquebrantable en nuestros clientes y por su contribución a los primeros años de Stellantis. Le deseo la mayor de las felicidades», mencionó Carlos Tavares, CEO de Stellantis. «Tengo, de igual manera, toda la confianza en la capacidad de Thierry para impulsar el crecimiento de la marca Citroën, en la determinación de Olivier para llevar a Stellantis al siguiente nivel de satisfacción de los clientes, y doy la bienvenida a Clara al equipo directivo del Grupo, en un momento en el que seguimos ejecutando nuestro plan estratégico ‘Dare Forward 2030′»
