Denis Sverdlov, founder and chief executive officer at Arrival, said: “Mandeep is bringing her exceptional talents to Arrival at an incredibly important time for the business. Arrival will be starting production and delivering vehicles to customers for the first time later this year, and as we move to the next phase of the business, Mandeep will play a vital role in how we lead and scale our organisation.
“Our culture has always been our strategic advantage and we’ve strived to ensure there is no better professional life than Arrival. I am excited to welcome Mandeep to the company, and I know her leadership will have an enormous impact.”

The company has an unbeatable culture and strives to be the best workplace possible, and it’s my commitment to further innovate, celebrate and enhance that culture.
