Iain Montgomery appointed FCA fleet and business sales director

Iain Montgomery has moved to the role of fleet and business sales director at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).

His new role is one of a raft of changes to the senior management structure at FCA, with Damien Dally and Francesco Vanni joining the UK team to take on the roles of country manager for Jeep and Alfa Romeo, and Fiat and Abarth respectively.

Reporting into Arnaud Leclerc, managing director FCA UK & Ireland, their roles will start with immediate effect.

Vanni joins the UK team as country manager for Fiat and Abarth, arriving from FCA Sweden where he held the position of deputy managing director.  Prior to this he had several sales and marketing roles in FCA, Italy.

Returning to FCA UK, Dally will take on the role of country manager for Alfa Romeo and Jeep. Dally spent the last three years working in Turin managing the Jeep sales, planning and marketing teams for EMEA.

Previously he held a number of positions, responsible for the Alfa Romeo and Jeep sales and marketing teams, in the UK.

Alongside the appointment of country managers, Montgomery (pictured) moves to the role of fleet and business sales director, having spent the last 18 months as sales director for passenger cars.  He replaces Andrew Waite who has left the company to pursue other interests. 

Leclerc said: “The changes that we have made to the management team will strengthen the leadership of FCA UK in this crucial period, as we take our first steps towards electrification. 

"The team’s combined knowledge, from both FCA and beyond, will ensure our customers, retailers and brands are in the most capable hands.”
