Arnaud Ribault Appointed Global Head of Sales for Opel and Vauxhall

• Arnaud Ribault to assume global sales responsibility for Opel and Vauxhall on November 1, 2025
• Tobias Gubitz to take up international role within the European Stellantis organisation

Arnaud Ribault has been named Head of Enlarged Europe Opel Vauxhall Brands effective November 1, 2025. His responsibilities include the global lead for the sales for the two brands. Ribault will also become a member of the Executive Committee of Opel Automobile GmbH. He succeeds Tobias Gubitz, who will take up a new international position within the European Stellantis organisation.

“I am delighted to welcome Arnauld Ribault to our leadership team. His global view and many years of sales experience will strengthen and further expand Opel’s market position in the long term," said Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tobias Gubitz, who successfully managed the launches of the important SUV models Opel Grandland, Opel Frontera and Opel Mokka within just one year and was thus also able to lay the foundation for the growth of the brand. I wish him every success in his new role in Stellantis‘ European organisation.”

Arnaud Ribault: “It is a great honour for me to lead the only German and the only British brand in the Stellantis portfolio into the future as Head of Sales. Opel and Vauxhall are driving electrification by placing a clear focus on an attractive, affordable model portfolio. The two brands are particularly strong in northern Europe and thus in the countries where electrification is progressing faster. They thus play an important role for Stellantis in its efforts to achieve the European CO₂ targets.”

Arnaud Ribault, who was most recently Deputy CEO at the Peugeot Motocycles Group, where he was globally responsible for sales, marketing and supply chain, is now returning to the Stellantis Group. Until January 2024, Ribault was Head of Citroën Europe. Among other positions, he previously also served as Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing of Groupe PSA in Latin America.
