In a rather shocking turn of events, Alpine has replaced its outspoken but arguably efficient CEO, Laurent Rossi. Philippe Krief has replaced Rossi with immediate effect, but he will carry on in his role as vice president of engineering and product performance until a suitable replacement can be found. He will report to Luca de Meo, the CEO of the Renault Group.
Krief has an impressive resume, having worked for Michelin, FCA, and Alfa Romeo. He was the director of engineering for Ferrari when he decided to join Alpine in February 2023 in the role mentioned earlier.
Rossi has not been fired, but Alpine says he will now focus on special projects linked to the transformation of the Renault Group.
