“Vince, Ryan and Leandro will bring their own unique perspective, imagination and innovation to these roles as we move toward an electrified future,” Stellantis Chief Design Officer Ralph Gilles said in a statement.
Gilles thanked Allen for his “indelible contributions to the Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck brands,” adding: “I hope that when he looks back on his career, he feels the way we do, which is gratification for the legacy he helped to create that will be enjoyed by the world for years to come.”
