Stoneridge, Inc. has announced the retirement of Jim Zizelman, President and Chief Executive Officer, effective 20 May 2026, who will be succeeded by Natalia Noblet, the current President of Stoneridge Electronics, as part of a planned transition. The Michigan-based company is a global supplier of safe and efficient electronic systems and technologies.

Zizelman will remain in his current role until 31 March 2026, before moving to a position as strategic advisor. Noblet will assume the role of President and CEO and join the Board of Directors on 1 April 2026. Zizelman will also stand for re-election to the board at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Jim Zizelman joined Stoneridge in 2019 and became CEO in January 2023. His tenure included the transformation of product lines within the Control Devices segment – which the company recently sold – and an expansion of the technology portfolio focused on electrification and mobility.

Natalia Noblet joined the company in September 2024. During her time as president of Stoneridge Electronics, the segment secured contracts for the MirrorEye Camera Monitor System platform. Noblet previously spent 20 years at WABCO and ZF, where she held senior leadership roles in operations and procurement.

The transition follows the sale of the company's Control Devices segment. Stoneridge is now focused on its Electronics and Orlaco segments, prioritising technologies for vehicle safety and efficiency. Noblet will oversee the company's global operations, procurement and manufacturing footprint.

Bill Lasky, Chairman of Stoneridge’s Board of Directors, said, “Succession planning is a key priority for our Board and this transition reflects our commitment to leadership continuity and long-term value creation during an important period of transformation for the Company following the sale of our Control Devices segment. Over the past year and a half, Natalia has led the Electronics segment with focus and discipline, making this a natural and well-prepared transition. Jim and Natalia will continue to work closely together to ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and strategic focus.”

Jim Zizelman, Outgoing CEO, said, “On behalf of the Board, I thank Jim for his leadership and lasting contributions. Under his direction, Stoneridge enhanced its competitive position, advanced its technology roadmap and reinforced a performance-based culture within the Company. We are also pleased that Jim will continue to serve on our Board, where his deep technical knowledge, engineering background and understanding of our business will remain an asset as we move forward.”

Natalia Noblet, incoming CEO, stated, “As the incoming president and CEO, my priority is to deliver outstanding value to our customers and continue working with all of our partners to advance next-generation technologies for safer and more efficient transportation. I am grateful to Jim for his leadership and guidance during this transition and for the strong foundation he has built. I look forward to working closely with our Board, our executive team and our global teams to execute Stoneridge’s strategy, strengthen customer partnerships and drive sustainable, profitable growth.”

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has reached a key milestone in the expansion of its Goodwood facility, officially declaring the new structure fully weathertight. This significant development paves the way for the next stage of the project.

To commemorate the achievement, CEO Chris Brownridge, accompanied by the Board of Directors, personally hand-signed the final wooden louvre installed on the building’s exterior. This element is one of 1,745 such features adorning the 40,000-square-metre structure. Each louvre, measuring 100 by 58 centimetres, is crafted from red cedar. This material was chosen for its durability and its natural ability to age gracefully, developing a soft silver-grey patina that harmonises with the landscape, mirroring the aesthetic of the original adjacent building, which also features red cedar cladding on its front elevation. This ceremonial signing follows a tradition established last year when the directors marked the installation of the final steel beam at the structure's apex.

With the exterior now complete, attention turns to the interior fit-out, managed by Rolls-Royce's specialist in-house teams. A central focus is the development of a new Surface Finish Centre, which will serve as a dedicated paint shop. Concurrently, work will progress on installing advanced equipment and establishing specialised areas tailored for Bespoke and Coachbuild projects.

Representing an investment exceeding GBP 300 million, this expansion is the most substantial financial commitment to the Home of Rolls-Royce since its inception in 2003. It is set to enhance the company's substantial economic contribution, which currently adds over GBP 500 million annually to the UK economy.

Chris Brownridge, CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “This moment marks the point at which our new extension building becomes fully weathertight, meaning our specialist Technologies can begin the complex, exacting process of fitting-out, in readiness for full operation in 2029. It’s a really pivotal point in the project – a project that upholds the standards and vision of our founder, Sir Henry Royce, and his famous injunction to strive for perfection in everything we do. The Directors and I have also been inspired by his practice of personally inspecting and signing off each new component, giving them his own ‘seal of approval’. Having previously signed off the final element of the structural steelwork, we wanted to do the same for the last of the wooden louvres that now clad its exterior. It’s enormously exciting to see the work progressing with such pace and precision. To have that sense of personal connection with such a significant project through these signing ceremonies is very special for all of us.”
