Polestar announced that Philipp Römers has been appointed Head of Design.
Philipp has over 25 years of experience in automotive design and joins Polestar from AUDI AG, where he has held a number of roles, including Head of Exterior Design. Before joining AUDI AG, he was a leading designer at Volkswagen AG.
Philipp will succeed Maximilian Missoni, who after 6 years with Polestar and a total of 12 years in Sweden, has decided to take up a new role outside of Polestar.
Philipp Römers says: “Polestar is the role model of a design-driven automotive company and it’s a great honour to take on the responsibility for the Design department. I’m looking forward to working with the creative team to design the next generation of Polestar cars.”
Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, says: “I thank Max for his leadership and companionship during the inception of Polestar as Europe’s only pure EV brand. Max established the innovative design standards that combine aesthetics, luxury and performance in a way that is truly Polestar. We wish him all the best in the future.
“At the same time, I am delighted to welcome Philipp to Polestar. Philipp’s modern approach to automotive design and experience from the luxury, performance segment will really support us as we take the next step in developing our model line-up.”
