Greg Clarkes' Leaving INEOS Automotive

Zimm said:

ohh. Family. That's usually the phrasing used when you go into the board room meeting, unprepared for being the subject of the board room meeting.

This was a huge undertaking. I hope he does well.

Passionate and driven people tend to take on more than they can sustain. They are taken advantage of my others without the same qualities of dedication.
Unless you walk a mile in his shoes , it's disingenuous to make negative suppositions or cast negative aspersions.
I wish him all the best.

I’m still trying to figure out who is being disingenuous.

Why do you need to figure it out? I think it was quite genuine and appropriate that he sent a note to Stu and Krabby. Who knows what would’ve become of the launch if the Forum weren’t around for the “beta testers” in Europe/Australia or the early adopters in the US to share their experiences. Whatever the reason for Greg’s departure I wish him the best.

The forum has been a godsend on this vehicle for me. I am not a true “car guy” or off-roader but with everyone’s shared knowledge and experience it has been much easier getting through the quirks and issues we have faced. I look forward to many years of driving my grenadier and hope that whomever takes over is able to expand the reach of Ineos Automotive.

I have to agree in general when that phrasing is used it’s usually unexpected. I hope all the best for him.

I had an email earlier today from Greg expressing his wish that the community be informed of his departure. Its been commented upon elsewhere with quite a bit of speculation, this is the statement from Greg himself.



"Dear Stu and Krabby,

As you likely know by now, I’ve made the decision to step down from my role leading INEOS Automotive Americas to be able to spend time with my family. It has been a huge privilege to lead the establishment INEOS Automotive and launch of Grenadier in the U.S and Canada. What has made this experience extra special are the literally thousands of passionate, supportive enthusiasts along the way.

It’s this enthusiasm that will be the lasting memory of this role. It is enthusiasm and excitement that I have seen in my growing team across the region, but especially on theineosforum.com. What you two have sparked, and what the thousands of Grenadier enthusiasts have grown, is truly exceptional. It has been a weekly feature of discussion within the team and a massive motivator for us all in the face of what felt / feels like endless challenges as we endeavoured to launch this new brand.

To be part of a new, ground-up brand in today’s automotive landscape has been remarkable. However, I am certain that it never would have happened without the expertise, input, debate and support of the folks that participate in the forum every day. You two have provided the platform and focal point for that, for which the team and I (and I’m sure the entire community) are deeply grateful. Thank you very much to you both, and to all the Grenadier enthusiasts.

I’m off to address the work/life balance, to support my wife in her career and to be a better dad. Of course I’ll continue to enjoy (and perhaps participate in, from time to time) the forum discussions. See you out there.


All the best,

Greg

Greg Clark
EVP, Americas
INEOS Automotive"
