AURORA, Ontario, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magna today announced the appointment of Philip D. Fracassa as Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. He succeeds Patrick McCann, who will step down following a distinguished career spanning more than 26 years with Magna. To support a seamless transition, McCann will remain in an advisory role until the end of February 2026.

“I would like to extend my gratitude to Pat for his significant contributions and partnership, particularly during a dynamic period in the global economy and our industry,” said Swamy Kotagiri, Magna President and Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of the entire Magna team, we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”

“Serving as CFO has been a privilege, and I’m grateful to have worked alongside such a talented team,” said McCann. “Magna is well-positioned for continued success, and I’m confident the team will carry that momentum forward.”

Fracassa’s appointment aligns with Magna’s strategy to drive sustainable shareholder value through operational excellence, financial discipline, and efficient capital allocation. His deep experience in corporate finance, strategic planning, and capital deployment will be instrumental as Magna builds on its strong first-half performance and delivers on its full-year outlook disclosed in August.

“Phil is a seasoned financial leader with a strong track record of delivering results and driving transformation,” said Kotagiri. “His experience and perspective will be invaluable as we continue executing our strategy and advancing Magna’s financial position. I am looking forward to partnering with Phil on our continued journey.”

Fracassa joins Magna after 20 years at The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR), where he served as Executive Vice-President and CFO since 2014. During his tenure, he played a central role in developing and executing Timken’s strategy to drive profitable growth and improve returns. He brings extensive automotive and industrial sector experience across various functional areas, including tax, treasury, controlling, and corporate planning through his prior roles at Timken, Visteon Corporation, General Motors, and Price Waterhouse.

Fracassa holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a juris doctor degree in law from the University of Detroit Mercy. He is a registered certified public accountant and licensed attorney in Michigan, and completed the Advanced Management Programme at INSEAD in France.

“I’m honored to join Magna and thrilled about the opportunity to contribute to the company’s continued growth and success,” said Fracassa. “Magna’s reputation for innovation, operational excellence, and global reach is unmatched. I look forward to partnering with our talented team to help drive performance and create long-term value.”
