Jaguar’s Mike O’Driscoll to retire in March
Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs, Jaguar, Luxury
Jaguar has announced that Managing Director Mike O’Driscoll will retire from the company early next year, at least from his day-to-day duties. The charismatic executive has been on-board at the Leaping Cat since the company was still part of the Ford portfolio. He helped usher Jaguar out from under the glare of the Blue Oval and into the hands of India’s Tata Motors. From there, O’Driscoll was among the key hands in the introduction of the new XF, XK and the super-sexy XJ.
No one’s saying exactly how O’Driscoll will spend his days after he officially retires in March of next year, though Jaguar says that he will stay on as the chairman of Jaguar Heritage. There, he’ll help manage the company’s expansive collection of vintage machines.
We can’t blame him for holding onto that gig.
At the moment, Jaguar is remaining tight-lipped about who will take O’Driscoll’s place once he steps down, but then again, they’ve got a few months or so to sort it all out. Hit the jump for the brief press release.
