Polestar has appointed 35-year automotive industry veteran Scott Maynard to lead its Australian operation from July 18, 2024.
Maynard replaces Samantha Johnson, who left Polestar last month after overseeing the brand’s launch into the Australian market in 2021.
His appointment comes as the brand prepares to expand its line-up from one to three models with the arrival of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs later this year.
According to Polestar, Maynard brings a wealth of knowledge to the brand following a career across various business functions and experience at several luxury car brands, including Audi and Jaguar Land Rover.
”We are delighted to welcome Scott to the Polestar family. To have someone of his calibre and experience joining the team during unprecedented transformation in the industry is invaluable,” says Polestar global sales head Kristian Elvefors.
“Scott not only brings extensive operational experience to the brand but is highly respected by his peers and retailers. Australia is a key market for Polestar, and we look forward to seeing the brand go from strength to strength as we expand from a one to three-car company,” he says.
