“The intelligence that can be leveraged from the increasing cascade of vehicle data and electrification is driving a rapid transformation across all the vehicle markets Dana serves,” said James Kamsickas, Dana president and CEO.
“Christophe’s talents will be especially valuable to Dana as we continue to execute our enterprise strategy in the areas of commercialization of new technologies and acceleration of electrification and hybridization.
“He has helped Dana expand on our preeminent position in vehicle intelligence and electrification through his exceptional leadership skills, technical expertise in multiple vehicle markets, experience in systems integration and complete vehicle architecture, and a strong background in electronics and controls engineering.
“I would also like to thank George Constand for his leadership in this role over the past eight years and wish him all the best in retirement. He brought valuable insight, business acumen, leadership, and integrity to this position,” said Kamsickas.
