EV maker Lucid Motors announced the appointment of two vice presidents and two senior vice presidents on Tuesday, the same day the electric vehicle maker is set to report its first-quarter earnings after market close.
The company named Akerho “AK” Oghoghomeh, a former Beyond Meat and Redbull executive, as Senior Vice President of Marketing and Jason Ryska as Vice President of Global Manufacturing Engineering.
Additionally, Dr. Kay Stepper becomes Vice President of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD), and Adrian Price as Senior Vice President of Operations.
The company’s senior vice president (SVP) of operations Steven David left Lucid earlier this year after spending about two and a half years in the role.
David was replaced by the Ford veteran Adrian Price, who joined the Detroit automaker in 1997 and held twelve different positions over the past 26 years, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Since October 2023, the company has seen eleven high-level exits, including the CEO (who has now a new role), two C-suite executives, two senior vice presidents, five vice presidents, and the European chief.

Late last year, Vice President of Marketing and Communications Andrea Soriani left Lucid to rejoin Maserati as General Manager for North America. In December, Alexander Lutz, who had been managing director for Lucid’s European operations, also departed, marking the ninth senior executive exit in 14 months.
Lucid’s board said in February it “initiated a search to identify Lucid’s next Chief Executive Officer with the support of a leading executive search firm.”
Lucid Motors will report first-quarter earnings results later this Tuesday, May 6, after market close.
According to the questions collected via the Say Technologies platform, retail investors closely watching for updates on its upcoming mid-size platform, Gravity’s production progress, and tech licensing to other carmakers.
Lucid has guided first-quarter 2025 revenue between $232 million and $236 million and reiterated its full-year production target of 20,000 vehicles—roughly double its 2024 output.
The company delivered 3,109 vehicles globally in the first three months of the year.
As reported earlier this Tuesday, Lucid saw its German sales fall for the sixth consecutive month in April. In the Netherlands, where its European headquarters are located, the brand sold one car, down from the 12 recorded in March.
