Winfried Vahland has been appointed to the Board as a new director. Winfried was previously CEO and President of Volkswagen Group China, Chairman of the Executive Board of Skoda Auto and a Member of the Board of Volvo Cars. He is currently Member of the Supervisory Board of Proton Holdings.

Håkan Samuelsson, Chairman of Polestar’s Board of Directors, says: “I’m delighted to welcome Winfried to the Board. The company will benefit from his significant automotive industry experience and track-record of delivering profitable growth through a combination of successful business and product portfolio development.”

Per Ansgar has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Per joins Polestar on a transitional basis, while a formal search is undertaken. He brings close to 30 years of experience from senior controlling and finance roles, including CFO of Geely Sweden Holding, Deputy CFO of Volvo Cars and CFO of Volvo Cars China. He will assume responsibilities from Johan Malmqvist.

Kristian Elvefors has been appointed Global Head of Sales. Kristian has over 20 years of experience from senior commercial roles in the automotive industry, most recently as Managing Director of Volvo Cars in the UK and will assume responsibilities from Mike Whittington.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, says: “I would like to thank Johan and Mike for their many years of combined service and commitment to Polestar – we all wish them well in the future. I am delighted to welcome Per and Kristian to Polestar. Their combined experience and skills will play a key role in delivering on our business plan: securing profitable growth through our growing model line-up and reaching cash flow breakeven in 2025.”

All three appointments are effective from 15 January 2024. Both Johan and Mike are pursuing their careers outside of Polestar and will remain with the company for a period of time, to help ensure a smooth transition.
