After a relatively short stint as the head of the Fiat brand in North America that lasted only 20 months, the Chrysler Group announced today that Laura Soave has left the company without giving a reason for her departure.
The Detroit-based automaker issued a statement saying, “Laura Soave has left the Company and will pursue other interests” adding that she will be replaced by Timothy Kuniskis, who recently served as Director for both the Chrysler Brand and Fiat Brand Product Marketing.
Chrysler said that as the head of the Fiat Brand for North America, Kuniskis will be responsible for Fiat Brand sales, marketing, dealer network and service.
“Tim brings broad expertise and leadership in dealer operations and marketing where he has been already working with the team to shape the direction of the Fiat Brand,” said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler Group LLC.
“As North American Head of Fiat, much of his immediate focus will be working with the dealer body where his fresh perspective from the operational side, as well as that on the commercial side, will begin the Fiat Brand’s next chapter.”
