Onder leiding van François Provost, CEO van Renault Group, en als lid van het Leadership Team, zal Josep Maria Recasens verantwoordelijk zijn voor het definiëren van de strategie om het positieve momentum van de groep te behouden, het sturen van productkeuzes voor de komende jaren en het coördineren van de implementatie om het succes van het toekomstige aanbod te waarborgen. Naast zijn nieuwe rol blijft Recasens CEO van de landen op het Iberisch Schiereiland en zal hij CEO van Ampere blijven totdat het transformatiewerk is afgerond.

“Since my arrival, I have focused on implementing a simpler, more effective and faster organisation to adapt to the current challenges. Bringing together the strategy, which sets the course, and the Product and Planning, which guides product choices and program directions, is an essential lever for greater coherence and agility. Josep Maria will be in charge of this scope and will take over from Guido Haak, whom I warmly thank for his dedication and years with us,” said François Provost, CEO of Renault Group. “Ampere’s ambition remains at the heart of our strategy to provide our customers with innovative electrical and software technologies that are accessible to all.”

Josep Maria Recasens declared: “I am very happy to take on this new challenge and grateful for the trust the Group has placed in me. My first priority will be to extend to the entire company a few principles that have made Ampere successful: a strong focus on the product, disciplined program management, and a holistic view of investments. With the support of the Leadership Team, we will adapt, accelerate and deploy these fundamentals to consolidate and amplify the renewed product momentum, and embed this dynamic in a sustainable way at the heart of the Renault Group’s strategy.”
