Jean-Francois brings 25 years of experience from senior, leading roles in automotive finance and financial services across Europe, China, Asia and India. Most recently he was Senior Vice President of Global Accounting Operations and Finance Transformation at Stellantis Group. He has also held several leadership roles at PSA Group.

He brings a wealth of experience and best practice competence from our industry, which we will benefit from. With Polestar 2, Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 we have a stunning model line-up on the roads. One of our key priorities moving forward is to make Polestar a financial success and this is an important step in that direction.”

“I would like to thank Per for his contributions and commitment, supporting the Company and leading our Finance function during a very important period.”

Jean-Francois Mady says: “I’m very excited to join Polestar, with its unique focus on design, electric performance and sustainability and look forward to supporting the Company’s exciting next phase.”
