Lucid Overhauls Leadership Team With New CFO, CTO

Lucid reported Q2 2026 production and delivery totals alongside a leadership overhaul under CEO Silvio Napoli, naming a new CFO, CTO and other executives while halving his direct reports.

Lucid Group delivered 3,953 vehicles and produced 4,774 vehicles during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the electric vehicle maker announced this week alongside a sweeping leadership reorganization under CEO Silvio Napoli. The overhaul halves the number of executives reporting directly to Napoli and adds new leaders across finance, technology, customer experience, transformation and digital functions, the company said. The changes build on measures Lucid announced last week to reduce organizational complexity, align manufacturing capacity with market demand and improve competitiveness. Lucid will report full second-quarter financial results, including net income and cash flow data, during an August 4 earnings call, with materials posted to its investor relations website.
