China’s BYD Co. is hiring the former UK chief of Stellantis NV, according to people familiar with the matter, as the EV maker builds a team of European executives to lead its expansion in the region.

Maria Grazia Davino is likely to have responsibility for a cluster of European countries for BYD after she ends garden leave in December, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information.
