Beatrice Foucher has been CEO of DS Automobiles since January 2020. Under her watch, the Stellantis premium brand has launched two key models, the DS 9 large sedan and the DS 4 compact hatchback. The DS 9 will be built in China and sold in both Asian markets and Europe, where as a halo model it will help DS grow its core market beyond France and southern European countries such as Spain and Italy. Foucher recently spoke about the DS 9 and the brand's new role as part of Stellantis' premium group with Automotive News Europe News Editor Peter Sigal.
