"I am delighted to be returning to Volvo Cars. Design is fundamental to what Volvo stands for. I look forward to working closely with the teams across the company, developing cars that are distinct, relevant and true to the Volvo brand." says Thomas Ingenlath.

Thomas Ingenlath previously served as Senior Vice President Design at Volvo Cars, where he played a central role in shaping the company's contemporary Scandinavian design identity and establishing design as a defining element of the brand. More recently, as CEO of Polestar, he led the creation of a design-led, electrified performance brand from its early stages, translating progressive ideas into production vehicles in a highly competitive market.

"Design is one of Volvo Cars' greatest strengths and will continue to differentiate us in shaping the future of premium, electric mobility," says Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars. "Thomas Ingenlath will strengthen our design leadership with his proven experience and vision, ensuring we continue to design cars that reflect our values and resonate with customers around the world."

Volvo Cars would like to thank Nicholas Gronenthal, who has served as Interim Head of Global Design, for his leadership and contribution during this period and congratulate him on his new appointment as Head of Design Americas.
