Andersson will help lead Volvo’s efforts to commercialize autonomous vehicle technology and fully electric vehicles. She previously worked at Swedish telecom giant Ericsson for 20 years, most recently as vice president for product development within the company’s Packet Core unit.
Andersson succeeds Thomas Mueller. Mueller left Volvo to join Audi AG, where he will lead the carmaker’s development of connected and autonomous-driving technologies.
