EURIG DRUCE is the new Group Managing Director of Stellantis. He replaces Maria Grazia Davino who has decided to leave the company for other interests.
Druce, who was recently appointed Managing Director of Stellantis brand Peugeot, will report to Jean-Philippe Imparato, Chief Operating Officer, Enlarged Europe region.
Jean-Philippe Imparato said: “I am delighted to be able to appoint Eurig Druce to this position. His proven track record in the country will provide continuity of our strategy in this important market.”
Imperato went on to thank Maria Grazia Davino for her “unwavering focus on performance and her ability to drive results swiftly”, saying that she had built strong relationships with retailers, employees, and stakeholders, while adeptly handling regulatory changes in a disrupted industry. “Her leadership has made a lasting impact on our UK operations and paved the future,” he added.
According to Auto Retail Agenda, Maria Grazia Davino’s departure is not linked to the recent group-wide repositioning of senior executives; rather, she has left to engage with another rival OEM.
Stellantis said that Druce would retain his most recent role as Managing Director for Peugeot for an interim period while the company looked for a successor.
