This move consolidates operations into three core divisions: Global Electrical Systems, Global Seating, and Trim Systems and Components. The primary goal is to sharpen alignment with specific customer needs and drive operational efficiency, a clear strategic intent from CEO James Ray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe value proposition here is organizational clarity and accountability. By appointing dedicated leaders, like Peter Lugo continuing to head Electrical Systems, the company aims to execute more effectively within each product domain.
