A car lover since he was a kid combined with the ongoing shift in the automotive industry to electric vehicles make Rustam (Rusty) Juma’s new role as general counsel at Volkswagen Group Canada Inc. a dream come true.

Then last summer, he saw a posting on LinkedIn for the VW position and decided to go for it.
