Lucid's top engineering executive exits in first Napoli shake-up

Lucid Motors

Emad Dlala, a senior executive at Lucid Group who had recently been elevated to a leading role overseeing vehicle engineering strategy, departed the company on June 9 - the first major leadership exit since Silvio Napoli formally became CEO on June 1. As part of the restructuring under Napoli, the vice presidents of vehicle engineering and software will now report directly to him, tightening product control as Lucid pivots its strategic narrative around its Uber-backed robotaxi program and the upcoming Atlas-based midsize vehicle platform.
