Autoliv Inc. has appointed Monika Grama as its new Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Finance, with her tenure beginning on April 1 2026. Grama has been the Vice President of Finance for the company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) division since 2020 and joined Autoliv in 2009, where she has overseen finance operations in key production hubs, including Romania, where she served as Finance Manager and Managing Director.

She succeeds Fredrik Westin, who will depart the company on March 31 2026. In a statement, President and CEO Mikael Bratt welcomed Grama to the executive management team, noting that her “extensive experience from multiple leadership roles in finance coupled with her strong management experience and Autoliv knowledge will be a great asset to the Company as we pursue our strategic goals.” Bratt also thanked Westin for his “valued contribution to Autoliv during a period of intense business transformation.”

The CFO appointment comes on the heels of Autoliv’s Q4 2025 earnings, in which the company reported net sales of $2.82 billion—up 7.7% year‑over‑year—and an adjusted earnings per share of $3.19, beating consensus estimates. Full‑year 2025 results included net sales of $10.8 billion and an adjusted EPS of $9.85, while operating cash flow reached $1.157 billion. However, the company’s adjusted operating margin fell to 12.0% in Q4 from 13.4% in the prior year, and 2026 guidance now projects flat organic growth and an adjusted operating margin of 10.5‑11.0%.

Grama’s appointment is part of Autoliv’s broader strategy to strengthen financial leadership as it expands its global footprint and pursues cost‑efficiency initiatives. Her deep familiarity with the company’s EMEA operations and her track record of managing finance functions in large production facilities position her to support the company’s capital allocation and risk‑management objectives during a period of transformation and margin pressure.

The transition signals Autoliv’s commitment to disciplined financial stewardship while navigating a challenging automotive landscape marked by cost inflation, shifting demand, and the need for continued investment in innovation and global expansion.
