Former Rivian executive leaves after two years to join Stellantis
A former executive at Rivian has departed from the electric vehicle (EV) maker to join multinational automaker Stellantis, heading up North American operations.
Rivian’s VP of Manufacturing Operations Tim Fallon has left the company after just two years, and will now join Stellantis as the company’s North America Head of Manufacturing. The news comes as the latest in executive shake-ups at Rivian, after the company’s Chief Commercial Officer, Kjell Gruner, left the company just weeks ago.
Automotive News confirmed Fallon’s departure with a Rivian spokesperson on Tuesday, after seeing an internal memo about the news written by CEO RJ Scaringe. Stellantis has already announced that Fallon will join the company ahead of accelerated EV plans.

“Tim brings his relentless pursuit of operational excellence and strong track record of manufacturing experience, including electric vehicle production, to Stellantis as we enter this critical stage of our transformation,” said Stellantis North America COO Carlos Zarlenga. “With this year marking the start of our electric vehicle offensive, I have full confidence that Tim’s passion and collaborative spirit will lead the team to deliver the highest quality vehicles for our customers.”
Fallon will succeed former Manufacturing Operations VP Mike Resha, as he moves to a global position on injection and stamping. Both Fallon and Resha will start in their new positions beginning on September 2, according to the automaker.
The former Rivian executive also played a key role in helping the company ramp up production at its Normal, Illinois, factory, according to Scaringe.
“Our manufacturing operation has made tremendous progress during the past few years. Our continued progress is critical for us as we focus on executing on our path to profitability,” Scaringe wrote in the memo.
Stellantis has also faced executive departures throughout much of this year, most recently including former Jeep North America Head Jim Morrison, and CEO of Dodge Ram Tim Kuniskis, who departed from the company after 32 years.
