Volvo Cars today announces the appointment of Thomas Ingenlath as Chief Design Officer, effective 1 February 2026. The appointment marks the return of one of the most influential designers in the company’s recent history and reinforces Volvo Cars’ leadership in design. Thomas Ingenlath will join the Executive Management Team and lead Volvo Cars’ global design organisationacross the product portfolio.
“I am delighted to be returning to Volvo Cars. Design is fundamental to what Volvo stands for. I look forward to working closely with the teams across the company, developing cars that are distinct, relevant and true to the Volvo brand.” says Thomas Ingenlath.
Thomas Ingenlath previously served as Senior Vice President Design at Volvo Cars, where he played a central role in shaping the company’s contemporary Scandinavian design identity and establishing design as a defining element of the brand. More recently, as CEO of Polestar, he led the creation of a design-led, electrified performance brand from its early stages, translating progressive ideas into production vehicles in a highly competitive market.
