Scania strengthens executive board with new departments and appointments

Three new corporate appointments and department changes headline Scania’s global executive board tweaks
Scania has purchased Northvolt Systems Industrial.

Scania has announced three appointments to its executive board as it looks to strengthen the organisation, accelerate performance and respond to shifting market conditions.

The industry in which Scania operates is changing rapidly, driven by new technology, regionalisation and shifting market dynamics. To stay competitive, the company says it is reviewing its organisational structure and operational model to strengthen value creation, increase speed and simplify processes.

This new-look commercial structure will see Scania unify sales and marketing with commercial operations into a single organisation called Scania Commercial. From January 1, the new function will bring together global market strategies, sales execution and commercial development to further strengthen focus on customer value and ensure more efficient ways of working.

The unit will be led by Stefano Fedel, appointed as executive vice president and head of Scania Commercial. Born in 1970, Fedel holds a degree in Engineering of Materials and joined Scania in 2001. He has held several senior roles across markets and functions and currently holds the position of executive vice president and head of sales and marketing.

“Stefano brings valuable experience of our customers in markets around the world, in addition to a strong commercial mindset and solid international leadership,” Scania president and CEO Christian Levin says.

“His ability to turn strategy into real business results – both short and long term – makes him well suited to lead a unified Scania Commercial and strengthen our commercial position globally.”

China remains one of the world’s largest and most dynamic transport markets and is a central part of Scania’s long-term growth ambitions.

Camilla Dewoon has been appointed executive vice president and head of Scania Group China from January 1, 2026. Dewoon holds a Master of Science in Economics and joined Scania in 1998. She has held several leadership roles, including head of communications and sustainability, and has extensive experience in brand development, stakeholder engagement and international growth. She currently holds the position of head of China Governance at Scania.

“Camilla has a proven track record of building strong brands, driving commercial development and navigating complex international markets, and her global experience makes her well prepared for this strategically critical role,” Levin says.

“She will be instrumental in translating our global priorities into successful local execution and accelerating Scania’s growth in Asia.”

Scania is also merging strategy ad corporate management with communications and sustainability to form the new function strategy and communications. It will be led by Anna Carmo e Silva, appointed executive vice president and head of strategy and communications from December 1. Carmo e Silva holds a Master of Science in Engineering. She joined Scania as a trainee and has held several strategic and operational positions, most recently as head of strategy and corporate management.

“Anna has an outstanding ability to connect strategy with real-world execution, and throughout her more than 20 years at Scania she has consistently demonstrated strong leadership,” Levin says.

“Bringing strategy and communications together will be an enabler for increased efficiency and alignment across the company. Anna will help us move with clarity, speak with one voice and strengthen Scania’s direction through a period of fast change.”

The executive board appointments involve a reallocation of responsibilities and the size of Scania’s board remains unchanged. Anna Carmo e Silva joins the board, and the role previously held by the head of Scania commercial operations will not be replaced.
