“Carl brings significant global experience to FCA and to the GEC both in an operational capacity and as a proven automotive business leader,” said Mike Manley, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) FCA. “As we take the company into the New Year, we are deepening our bench of executive leaders while broadening the GEC’s purview by adding the supply chain management function.”
