In our first episode, Petrolicious founder and CEO Afshin Behnia joins FCA's Head of Global Design, Ralph Gilles. Gilles is undoubtedly an artist, but his relationship to cars goes beyond aesthetics. His FCA résumé includes time as the President and CEO of the Motorsports division and President and CEO of the SRT brand, among other positions within FCA, which helps explain why he's way more of a tire shredder than a bean counter despite his influence in one of the largest car corporations in history.
