- Jaguar Land Rover restructures marketing, sales and service activities under single leadership
- Chief Marketing Officer Felix Bräutigam expands role to become Chief Commercial Officer
- New position on Jaguar Land Rover Board of Management is effective 1 April
Jaguar Land Rover has restructured its marketing, sales and service activities under the leadership of current Chief Marketing Officer Felix Bräutigam.
Bräutigam will take up the expanded role of Chief Commercial Officer on 1 April, leading global marketing, product planning, customer relationship management, sales, customer service, network development as well as the worldwide sales regions.
Felix Bräutigam joined the business as Chief Marketing Officer and member of the Board of Management on 1 January 2018, reporting directly to Dr Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover Chief Executive Officer.
Brautigam will adopt responsibilities from Andy Goss, Group Sales Operations Director, who has decided to leave the business at the end of March 2018 to pursue new challenges in the automotive business.
Dr Ralf Speth said: “Felix Bräutigam is a highly experienced and effective leader and will play a crucial role in developing the Jaguar and Land Rover brands globally as we aim for profitable, sustainable growth, despite challenging conditions in some key markets.
“Andy Goss has led the sales organisation during an unprecedented period of growth. He has spearheaded record sales and transformed our global retailer network. I would like to personally thank him for his dedication to our two great brands and wish him all the best with the next phase of his career.”
Goss joined the company from Porsche in 2011 to lead Jaguar Land Rover’s North American operations, before taking up his current position on the Board in 2013.
