Douglas G. Del Grosso is the former CEO of Adient, a company well-known for its contributions to the automotive industry. With a solid background in engineering and business, he holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lawrence Technological University and an MBA from Michigan State University. Douglas took the helm at Adient on October 1, 2018, bringing extensive industry experience from previous roles at companies like Chassix, Henniges Automotive, and TRW Automotive. He led Adient through significant periods, steering the company’s focus on aligning executive compensation with both performance and shareholder interests. A notable highlight of his tenure was when he agreed to a salary reduction in 2022, which later compensated by granting him restricted stock units to enhance alignment with shareholder value. Douglas’s leadership style emphasized operational expertise and long-term growth, and he announced his retirement as CEO effective December 31, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of strategic focus and resilience in a competitive sector.
