Change In Leadership At Volvo Malaysia

Volvo Car Malaysia welcomes Charles Frump as its new Managing Director onward from the departure of Nalin Jain, who previously served as Managing Director from 2019 to 2020. Frump will continue Jain’s responsibilities in overseeing the company’s overall operations and driving Volvo’s electrification vision in Malaysia.

Frump joins Volvo Car Malaysia from Volvo Car India, where he had been serving as Managing Director since 2017 and played an instrumental role in accelerating the growth of Volvo’s market share and earnings in India’s competitive luxury car segment.  

Frump’s association with Volvo Cars dates back to 2009, where he worked as the Director of Marketing in Volvo Car Japan. With more than 20 years of rich automotive experience in different markets and dynamics across Asia, the United States of America and Europe, Frump has also held global, regional, and local roles in the areas of Marketing, Sales, Customer Service and Network Management.

Charles Frump on this appointment “I am excited to embark on a new chapter of my journey with Volvo in a new market. I see Malaysia as a crossroad of the places I have been in the past, and I look forward to working closely with the local team, individual by individual, to build our strengths.”

Volvo is at an exciting time especially with its recent global announcement of becoming a fully electric car company by 2030. In its effort and commitment to sustainability and electrification in Malaysia, Volvo Car Malaysia fully electrified its fleet in February with the launch of the XC40 PHEV and became the first automotive brand in the country to have a complete PHEV line-up for all car models.

“The future is electric – this is something we firmly believe in. The children of today will be the drivers of tomorrow, and they are going to grow up in an environment where climate change and global warming are the main issues they will face. To ensure that they will have a safe and green planet to live in, we aim to consistently reduce the life cycle carbon footprint per car through concrete action, which is why we are moving our entire portfolio of vehicles into electrification. We hope that by doing so, we can also help our customers take active steps in sustainability together,” concludes Frump.

Frump holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in International Marketing from UCLA Anderson School of Management, Los Angeles, USA. He completed his bachelor’s in economics and mathematics from St. Olaf College, Minnesota, USA.
