Cadillac has named Deborah Wahl as its new chief marketing officer.

Wahl succeeds Uwe Ellinghaus, who resigned from the carmaker in late December 2017, citing health problems. She will take the reins on March 26 at the company’s New York headquarters and report the company’s president, Johan de Nysschen.

“Deborah’s diverse experience, as well as her proven track record of building successful global brands, makes her a natural addition to our leadership team,” de Nysschen said in a statement.
