Chrysler announced today that longtime procurement executive Peter Rosenfeld is leaving the company after 25 years and will be replaced as executive vice president-procurement and supply by Simon Boag.
Boag is rejoining the Chrysler Group after a 15-month stint as head of production planning for the Mercedes Car Group. Prior to that he was vice president-assembly and stamping operations for the Chrysler Group.
"Peter led with distinction the global expansion of our procurement and supply strategy," said Tom LaSorda, Chrysler Group President and CEO. "We thank him for his commitment and leadership over the past two and a half
decades."
The Detroit Free Press reports that Rosenfeld's departure is the third announced by Chrysler in the week since its German owner said the U.S. subsidiary will be sold. DaimlerChrysler said at the time that Boag would return to Chrysler, without naming a position.
