Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said Wednesday its U.S. sales chief
and head of the Ram truck brand is leaving the company to pursue
outside interests, a departure that comes as the Italian-American
auto maker pursues a merger with France's PSA Group.
Reid Bigland, a 22-year veteran who has long led the company's
sales strategy in the U.S. and Canada and is one of Fiat Chrysler's
top-ranking executives, will depart April 3, the company said. His
duties will be assumed by three other executives, including Jeff
Kommor, who will take responsibility for leading U.S. sales.
Mr. Bigland couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The move comes as Fiat Chrysler, led by Chief Executive Mike
Manley, is working to solidify a merger deal announced last fall
with PSA to create one of the world's largest auto makers by
sales.
