Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has appointed John Ricardo-Neto as its new head of product planning.
He assumes the role from Tom Macintyre, who now becomes head of direct sales for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, and brings more than a decade of experience working within the Volkswagen Group.
Ricardo-Neto has previously worked in product planning and sales roles across Audi UK and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. He also played a pivotal role in the development and deployment of the Group’s ‘Mobility 2.0’ objective in partnership with Volkswagen Financial Services.
Cian O’Brien, director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “John’s expertise and experience is critical to the continued success of this role within the business. With a focus on supporting our ‘Delivering Tomorrow’ plan, which includes new products such as the next-generation California, John and his team will play a pivotal role in our transition to a leaner, digitised business, fit for the future.”
Ricardo-Neto will start his new role from 4 September 2023.
