Rivian Automotive Inc. is shuffling its executive ranks in an effort to help the Amazon.com Inc.-backed company overcome growing pains.
The automaker is parting ways with its head of manufacturing, Charly Mwangi, CEO R.J. Scaringe said in an internal email viewed by Bloomberg News. Rivian’s new chief operations officer, former Magna International Inc. executive Frank Klein, will start on June 1, Scaringe said.
The reorganization calls for splitting the commercial business, which includes delivery vans made for Amazon, from the retail side of the company that produces the R1T plug-in pickup truck and R1S sport utility vehicle.
