Michael Manley

On July 21, 2018, Manley was appointed CEO of FCA, as Sergio Marchionne stepped down for medical reasons. During his first year as CEO he has been noted for attracting FCA outsiders and automobile industry outsiders for management positions and for untangling the management structure of FCA.

Manley was educated as an engineer and started his career as a trainee at car financing company Swan National. He continued his career working at Renault and Peugeot dealerships, before moving on to Lex Autosales car dealerships. In 2000, Lex Autosales was bought by DaimlerChrysler UK, and Manley was appointed director of Network Development for Daimler Chrysler UK, but was transferred to the United States in 2003. In 2008, he became Executive Vice-President of planning and sales for Chrysler followed by COO for the Asia region. In 2009, Manley became the CEO of the Jeep division, a position which he held with FCA since the merger with Fiat, with the addition of becoming responsible for RAM. During his tenure, Jeep sales rose from 320,000 vehicles in 2009 to 1.23 million in 2015. Manley said being appointed the head of Jeep was 'the turning point of his career'.
