French automaker PSA on Wednesday hired two executives it recruited just now from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance to head up its DS and Citroen brands and added them to its global executive committee.

PSA stated Beatrice Foucher, presently deputy DS chief executive and an ex-Renault manager would take the place of Yves Bonnefont as DS CEO.

The company stated that Vincent Cobee, currently deputy Citroen CEO and a former Nissan and Mitsubishi executive, would be taking place of Linda Jackson as Citroen CEO.
