Also who is the Ashley Reed, also, according to the article "Chief Executive Officer of Ineos Automotive Limited"?

In German it says: "Vorstandsvorsitzender", that's not exactly CEO, perhaps "chairman"?

Ineos Automotive is getting its own CEO for the first time. Lynn Calder, a manager from parent company Ineos, takes over the post. The new COO comes from vehicle manufacturer Magna Steyr.
Lynn Calder has been working for the Ineos Group, a chemical company, for six years. Its founder Jim Ratcliffe launched Ineos Automotive.

Car manufacturer Ineos Automotive has appointed Lynn Calder as chief executive officer (CEO). Her appointment completes Ineos Automotive's new, strengthened leadership team, marking the transition from development project to normal business operations, according to a press release.

In other personnel news, Hans-Peter Pessler, a former senior executive at Magna Steyr, which helped develop the Ineos Grenadier off-road vehicle, joins the company as COO. He is responsible for all technical and operational areas. Phillippe Steyer remains president of Ineos Automotive SAS, responsible for manufacturing, safety, health and environmental management, and supply chain.

Ashley Reed, Chief Executive Officer of Ineos Automotive Limited, says: "We are committed to establishing a long-term presence in the automotive sector. In managing the design program and overseeing the production build, the team has done a great job. Now, as the company transitions into full operations, Lynn Calder and Hans-Peter Pessler will lead the next phase in the company's development."

"It's an exciting time to take the reins," adds Lynn Calder. "The team and Grenadier have already come a long way. And yet, we are just at the beginning of building a global automotive company. I enjoy taking on challenges, and given the ambitious plans for the future, I'm looking forward to the adventures ahead."

I don't know if this article is accurate when it lists Lynn Calder as having been with Ineos for six years. I checked out Ms. Calder on LinkedIn, and according to her profile, she has only been with Ineos for two years (working with Ineos Composites). Before that she was at a venture capital firm in Houston, TX. If I had to speculate, I would agree with a post made previously by emax, that she is more of a numbers person, and less of a car person. But maybe she is both...

I don't know anything about Hans-Peter Pessler, but on the surface, it seems like a good thing that the new COO is coming over from Magna to run operations for Ineos Automotive.

Seems to be a fairly 'standard' approach in establishing an automotive 'corporate' entity with a holding company at the top controlling several entities one of which is the entity actually manufacturing the Grenadier. Calder's role is strategic direction and running the business at a profit while Pessler's headache is worrying about the millions of day to day interactions to keep the lights on and assembly lines moving. I don't envy them. I'll be very happy to take delivery and disappear into the desert chasing my 'bucket list' destinations

This how most companies are set up.
I have investment properties with a parent company and each property is owned by a separate company below that
Dave & Lisa Property Pty, Boreland Holdings Pty Ltd, Dave & Lisa Super Pty Ltd.
this insulates each separate entity from the others should something go wrong.

Lynn Calder managed Ineos Composites for two years.

I've been managing our household compost for twenty years.

Apparently Sir Jim was in a real pickle as to whom he should appoint to run Ineos Automotive.

Pessler's been in the Projekt for a good while:

A little bird whispered to me that George Ratcliffe recently became commercial director at Ineos Automotive.
I think if the family is involved directly the Grenadier will be in Sir Jim‘s focus for sure.

George: "But daddy, why is everyone being so beastly to me?"

OK own up, which one of you is Burkhard Baumgartner?

Too early. She had no clue about automotive before she became IA CEO and could start to learn. As I wrote, a German automotive business magazine elected her as one of the 50 toughest female automotive persons after she had the job for just a few weeks.

In my opinion she should have been elected in two years, when her work is visible and it justifies the election. I do not understan dthe motivation of this award.

1st, she has a $200 haircut now. Although I liked the former one more.
2nd, she's a woman.
3rd, she knows the magic words: "eliminate carbon emissions".

She can now be compared to and did beat Barack Obama, he got the Nobel prize of Peace after some 10 months
