The leadership change comes as Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by Geely Holding, struggles to meet profitability targets. The company is attempting to balance Western and Chinese technologies to continue selling in the United States, where its sister brand Polestar faces a sales ban.

The U.S. government approved continued sales with connected technology, while Geely Holding gained majority control of Volvo Cars.
