Frank Stephenson, former Design Chief at Centro Stile Alfa Romeo (that’s fancy talk for “Alfa Romeo’s design studio”), has been gobbled up by McLaren and will head up the design efforts there.  American-born Stephenson becomes the latest Design head to fall victim to the recent Design Shuffle, as OEMs look to shore up their studios with talent and leadership for the upcoming electric car-pocalypse.
