Summary

  • Alexander De Bock will become Lucid’s CFO after a handover from Taoufiq Boussaid, part of a broader leadership revamp announced Thursday.
  • 3,953 Q2 deliveries and weaker production fell short of Wall Street expectations, driving the overhaul as Lucid tries to address weak demand and operational strain.
  • Six new leaders were named across technology, engineering and sales, extending changes under new CEO Silvio Napoli beyond the finance role.
  • The shakeup follows Lucid’s 18% workforce cut—about 1,500 jobs—and withdrawal of 2026 production guidance, underscoring pressure on the luxury EV maker.
