2020 Rising Stars: Automakers & Suppliers

Nominations are now closed.
Automotive News is honoring young executives on the manufacturing/supply side of the auto industry
who are taking the world by storm.
We’ll profile the honorees in the August 23 issue and recognize their achievements!
This year's Automotive News Rising Stars show the value of relationships in personal growth and business success. Several cited mentors and people who believed in them; some have now become mentors. Another common thread: These 25 Rising Stars have used those relationships and communication skills to drive change.
