David Smith, CEO di Jaguar Land Rover, rassegna le dimissioni. In attesa del sostituto, che sarà presentato a giorni, la posizione di Smith sarà affidata a Ravi Kant boss di Tata Motors congiuntamente a Mike O'Driscoll e Phill Popham.

Una dimissione che personalmente mi aspettavo visto che per Jaguar Land Rover, Tata ha un ambizioso progetto di riduzione dei costi per rendere l'azienda più snella e Smith, seppur con l'attenuante di un breve incarico non ha convinto a pieno (nemmeno me a dire il vero...) Ratàn Tata.

Tra i candidati alla carica di Amministratore Delegato ci sarebbe l'ex di General Motors, Carl-Peter Foster vero pallino di Ratàn Tata più altri due candidati di cui non si conosce ancora l'identità tranne che per uno pare provenga o abbia avuto esperienza in una Casa automobilistica italiana.

Al momento il principale candidato a dirigere Jaguar Land Rover è Carl-Peter Foster: ex presidente di GM Europe, nato a Londra il 9 maggio del '54, ha occupato ruoli determinati in BMW, Opel, SAAB e anche una breve esperienza in Land Rover.

Update: come vi avevo anticipato, Carl-Peter Foster è il nuovo CEO di TATA Motors per cui anche Jaguar Land Rover

India's Tata Motors named former General Motors CO. executive Carl-Peter Forster as group CEO.

Forster, 55, will be responsible for the company's global operations including the Jaguar Land Rover unit.

Forster stepped down as GM Europe president and Opel/Vauxhall chairman in November after criticizing GM for reversing a decision to sell Opel to Canadian supplier Magna International Inc. and Russian partner Sberbank.

Ratan Tata, chairman of the Indian automaker, said in a statement that Forster's appointment would greatly help the company's ambition to become "a truly international company."

Forster, the London-born son of a German diplomat, has 24 years experience in the auto industry.

Before joining GM in 2001, he worked for BMW for 13 years, including a stint as the German premium carmaker's head of manufacturing.

One of Forster's biggest challenges will be to oversee the restructuring of Jaguar Land Rover.

Since Tata bought Jaguar Land Rover from Ford Motor Co. in 2008 for $2.3 billion, the two luxury British brands have been hit hard by the global collapse in car sales.

Tata's plans to close one of Jaguar Land Rover's three UK plants have met with opposition from unions.

Former Jaguar Land Rover CEO David Smith stepped down unexpectedly last month. Tata said it still plans to name a successor to Smith.

Forster succeeds Ravi Kant, who previously oversaw Tata Motors' global and domestic operations and last year became to non-executive vice chairman of the company.
