FCAU Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV

By Christina Rogers 

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said Wednesday its U.S. sales chief and head of the Ram truck brand is leaving the company to pursue outside interests, a departure that comes as the Italian-American auto maker pursues a merger with France's PSA Group.

Reid Bigland, a 22-year veteran who has long led the company's sales strategy in the U.S. and Canada and is one of Fiat Chrysler's top-ranking executives, will depart April 3, the company said. His duties will be assumed by three other executives, including Jeff Kommor, who will take responsibility for leading U.S. sales.

Mr. Bigland couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

The move comes as Fiat Chrysler, led by Chief Executive Mike Manley, is working to solidify a merger deal announced last fall with PSA to create one of the world's largest auto makers by sales.
