Tata Motors has appointed Carl-Peter Forster as the Group CEO of the company. He will have the overall responsibility of managing Tata Motors Operations globally, including Jaguar and Land Rover brands.
Forster, 55, has 24 years of experience in the automobile industry. Most recently he was the head of GM Europe, overseeing Opel/Vauxhall, Saab and Chevrolet’s European presence. Before joining GM in 2001, Forster was with BMW for 13 years, where he held various positions including that of Managing Director of BMW South Africa. He was also on the “Managing Board” of BMW responsible for manufacturing.
On the appointment, Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Motors, said: “Tata Motors expects that Mr. Forster’s induction will greatly facilitate its ambition towards being a truly international company.”
Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats. He has been in the auto industry since 2006, previously filling the pages of two motoring magazines before joining this website. Enjoys detailing the experience more than the technical details.
why must botak?
Good thing that he wasn't appointed by a Malaysian company! There will be riots among us who leave our comments here. I know many might be upset and would make remarks on how can a "penjajah" come and lead us again!
While the rest of the world hire people for the merits and experiences but only in Malaysia we hire based on how deep is one's throat! Explains why were are still not progressing. Hmmmm.
we do have some great leaders…only some….the rest…tak boleh pakai!!!
jarum… please read paultan previous post before something like that… seems like you had missed previous story of Proton…
