“We are entering a new chapter for the region, and I’m confident both Bill and Jim will bring their passion and intense customer focus to their new assignments,” said Mark Stewart, COO of Stellantis North America. “Bill’s deep brand experience will bring a unique and valuable perspective for the Jeep brand as it begins to roll out its electric portfolio next year. Jim’s unbridled passion for Jeep and its capability on and off-road will help to elevate and accelerate our aftermarket business, most importantly with the brand’s electric future just around the corner for our North American customers.”
