The French designer has spent the past 12 and a half years with the Indian brand in various positions, based in the manufacturing hub of Pune, and specialising mainly in exterior design. He is credited with working on models such as the 2016 Tiago Aktiv, 2017 Tigor and 2020 Nexon, among many other models.
