OPmobility have announced changes to their executive committee, as part of the group’s transformation to optimize operational performance and provide customers with increasingly integrated and value-added solutions.
Christian Kopp, currently Senior Executive Vice President and President of the Exterior Business Group, will lead a new business group comprising OPmobility’s exterior and lighting activities, notably to accelerate the development of a differentiated offer to meet the growing demand for integrated exterior systems.
Gérald Mentil, Executive Vice President and currently President of the Lighting Business Group, is appointed Group Chief Performance Officer; in a challenging market, he will be responsible for boosting the performance and accelerating the Group’s transformation.
In addition, Hélène Dantoine is appointed Executive Vice-President, General Secretary, Chief Compliance Officer, and a member of OPmobility’s Executive Committee.
Rodolphe Lapillonne, Chief Performance Officer, has decided to retire after 23 years with the Group and more than 16 years on the Executive Committee.
Christian Kopp will lead the new Exterior & Lighting Business Group, as President from 1 February 2025. This new business group will have 59 plants and 26,000 employees across 18 countries. It will enable OPmobility to accelerate the growth of their lighting business and the development of a differentiating, innovative, and connected offer to meet growing demand from automakers for value-added integrated exterior systems.
From the beginning of February, OPmobility will therefore be organized into four business groups: Exterior & Lighting, Modules, C-Power and H2-Power. This will have no impact on the Group’s financial reporting.
