MILAN (Reuters) – Stellantis on Wednesday said it had appointed IT veteran Chris Taylor as its chief digital information officer, a newly created position aimed at helping the world’s No. 4 carmaker transform into a mobility tech company.
Digital applications and data are increasingly crucial in carmakers’ strategies as they provide new areas for growth, with Stellantis targeting 20 billion euros ($19.8 billion) in annual revenue in 2030 from software-related products and subscriptions.
Stellantis said Taylor’s appointment would help the group support its “sophisticated” business needs.
“His background in cyber security, new business models and customer-centric solutions will drive the business value we require to meet our aggressive … targets,” CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement.
With nearly 30 years of IT experience in several global industries, Taylor has recently held positions at software group ServiceNow (NYSE:) and aircraft maker Airbus, Stellantis said, adding that he had joined the company on Monday.
