GOTHENBURG: Volvo Cars has appointed Jeremy Offer as Global Head of Design, bringing with him 35 years of design experience across multiple industries.
Offer will report to chief executive Jim Rowan and be part of the group management team.
He takes over the position as Global Head of Design on May 1, succeeding Robin Page who will remain with Volvo Cars as a senior advisor.
Rowan said Offer would bring strong leadership and a wealth of design experience ranging from electric vehicles and industrial design to digital products and services – all key as Volvo Cars transitions into a future with safe, fully electric cars, defined by their software.
Offer most recently led Arrival’s design team as Senior Vice President and Chief Design Officer working across vehicle programmes, components, brand and user experience.
Before joining Arrival, Offer was Head of Industrial Design and part of the senior management team at global consulting firm EPAM where he helped bring service and industrial design to their wider consulting practice. Jeremy has received numerous design awards throughout his career.
Offer said it is a great honour to take up the new position at Volvo Cars, a company with a fantastic heritage at the forefront of a new era.
“It’s an amazing opportunity to define Volvo Cars’ design language and principles, together with all the great talents across the company, as it soon enters its second century of providing customers with innovative and new products,” he said.
