Fiat Chrysler Automobiles UK has announced a major restructuring of its senior management team. Newly-appointed Deputy Managing Director Karl Howkins will head up a simpler structure, with two Country Directors managing the FIAT/Abarth, and Jeep/Alfa Romeo marques.
They are joined by Heads of Fiat Professional, FCA Ireland, Fleet Remarketing and Network Development. The changes came into effect on June 1, 2015.
Elena Bernardelli will oversee retail sales and marketing for the FIAT and Abarth brands. Elena has previously worked for Fiat as marketing director.
Damien Dally will oversee retail sales and marketing for the Jeep and Alfa Romeo brands. He has previously headed up Alfa Romeo but has most recently been brand manager at Jeep.
For Network development, Andy Rowe has been appointed as director. He will be responsible for dealers across the UK and Ireland.
Fiat Professional will contine to be overseen by Sebastiano Fedrigo who has been working as Country Director, responsible for all the business activities of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles commercial vehicle division.
Gerry Clarke will also continue as Country Director for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Ireland with Francis Bleasdale, director of fleet and remarketing retaining his role.
“I’m delighted that the new structure of the company is now aligned with the needs of both our customers and dealer partners,” said Howkins. “We now have the right people in place, with great teams in support, totally focused on the growth of FCA in the UK and Ireland.
“With an exciting and growing range of cars and vans, and with even more new models on their way, I am totally confident in achieving our goals.”
