"I am very pleased to be reunited with Leslie Peltier, with whom I have already had the pleasure of working. Her expertise, professionalism and listening skills are essential assets for strengthening the brand's influence and deepening its relationship with the various media.

"By placing communications directly under my responsibility, we are affirming the central role that communications plays in Citroën's transformation and future," added Chardon.
