Autoliv Expands Leadership with Appointment of New CFO
Autoliv, Inc., a leading name in automotive safety systems, announces the appointment of Monika Grama as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Vice President of Finance, starting April 1, 2026. Grama has been with Autoliv since 2009, holding various roles that have equipped her with a substantial understanding of the company’s operations and financial strategies. Most recently, she served as Vice President of Finance for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) division, leading financial operations in a critical market. Her experience during challenging times in the automotive industry is expected to be instrumental as Autoliv continues to pursue its strategic objectives aimed at enhancing automotive safety.
In her new role, Grama succeeds Fredrik Westin, who is stepping down at the end of March after playing a significant part in Autoliv's transformational journey. CEO Mikael Bratt has expressed confidence in Grama's capabilities, citing her deep knowledge of the company's financial framework and her ability to provide valuable insights that can drive growth. Underlining Autoliv's commitment to excellence, her appointment signals a robust alignment with the company's mission of “Saving More Lives.” This aligns with Autoliv's recent achievements, including products that reportedly saved 40,000 lives and prevented around 600,000 injuries in the past year alone.
Autoliv, which boasts a global presence in 25 countries and employs approximately 64,000 individuals, generates significant revenues—$10.8 billion in 2025—underscoring its leadership in the automotive safety sector. The company operates 13 technical centers dedicated to innovation, demonstrating its relentless pursuit of advanced safety solutions for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Grama's leadership will play a crucial role in steering the financial strategies that support these innovative goals, helping to navigate the complexities of the automotive landscape as it evolves.
In addition to the leadership change, Autoliv's Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee has renewed its €3 billion guaranteed euro medium term note (EMTN) program for another year. This decision, made public on March 6, 2026, will allow the company to further capitalize on funding opportunities within capital markets, thereby strengthening its financial position. The renewal reflects Autoliv's ongoing strategy of leveraging innovative financing as part of its broader mission to redefine mobility safety standards.
With Grama's arrival and robust financial strategies in place, Autoliv is well-positioned to continue its leadership in automotive safety while adapting to the changing dynamics of the industry.
