Who worked on the XC60 project? Part 1
As with any company larger than a few people, we have a manager that facilitates our work and there are those of us that do the work. Cars don’t just arrive here and then are sold to our retailers. There are many people spending many hours (many beyond their 8:30 to 5 hours).
Volvo has a very flat organization. Mike orders cars, Theresa handles logistics, Jay and Orlando do accessories, Greg is our EPA guy, and Trevor does retailer training and more. Probably everyone here has had a part to play in getting the XC60 project done.
So rather than write about who did what, I surprised them all with a quick, “So what was your involvement with the XC60?” question and stuck my Flip camera in front of them. All that you see here are uncut, one take interviews. What is interesting is the sincerity of accomplishment they all share. While all these people are my colleagues, they are also my friends. I’ve worked with many of them for their whole time here at Volvo. Even more heart warming is to see children of co-workers working here and taking larger roles in our organization. Well they are not really children any longer, but you get the point.
I’d like to start with Doug Speck, our CEO, and then, in no particular order, bring you the people in our company that did what was necessary to make the XC60 happen.
More interviews to come next week. Stay tuned.
Good weekend to you,
Dan
