Volvo Cars head of global design has stepped down from the role after just over two years, the automaker said in an email.

Jeremy Offer, whose appointment was announced in January 2023, told the automaker he wanted to prioritize spending more time with family. He also sought to reduce travel between Sweden and the U.K., according to the company.
Volvo did not indicate Offer’s last day with the company.
Offer brought more than three decades of design experience when he joined Volvo Cars in 2023. Prior to that, he was SVP and chief design officer at the now shuttered UK-based EV maker Arrival.
Nicholas Gronenthal, head of automotive design at Volvo Cars, will take over Offer’s duties on an interim basis, the company said.
