Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s new CEO Mike Manley named his revamped management team today.
Manley had led the company’s Jeep and Ram brands. He took the helm of the carmaker in July after CEO Sergio Marchionne fell ill and later died of complications from surgery.
Under the new structure, Tim Kuniskis (right) will head Jeep North America. He will remain global head of Alfa Romeo but will no longer be in charge of Maserati. Kuniskis previously led the Dodge brand.
Reid Bigland (left) will oversee the company’s Ram truck brand. He will continue to head FCA’s sales operations in the U.S. and Canada. Bigland also was in charge of Ram in 2013-2014.
Other new new assignments, many of which include dual roles, are:
• Pietro Gorlier as FCA’s chief operating officer (COO) of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He will retain global responsibilities for the company’s Mopar aftermarket parts unit.
• Steve Beahm, head of Mopar in North America. He will continue to head of the Chrysler, Dodge and Fiat Brands in North America.
• Ermanno Ferrari, CEO of Magneti Marelli and a member of FCA’s group executive council. He previously headed the lighting division of FCA’s Magneti Marelli parts division.
• Harald Wester, COO of Maserati. He will remain FCA’s chief technology officer.
• Scott Garberding, global chief manufacturing officer. He succeeds Stefan Ketter, who earlier this year notified FCA of his plans to leave.
• Richard Schwarzwald, global head of quality. He previously led FCA’s quality group in Latin America, and succeeds Garberding in his new position.
