Gaydon, UK 22nd March 2024 – Aston Martin's Board reveals the selection of Adrian Hallmark, a seasoned leader in ultra-luxury automotive, as the new Chief Executive Officer. Hallmark, with an extensive background including his recent tenure as Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, will officially assume his role no later than October 1, 2024.
Aged 61, Hallmark brings over 25 years of distinguished experience in senior automotive positions across the US, Europe, and Asia. His appointment follows the decision of Amedeo Felisa, current CEO of Aston Martin, to step down from his position.
Ensuring a seamless transition, Felisa will continue as CEO until Hallmark's commencement, overseeing the rollout of Aston Martin's upcoming product launches, including the highly anticipated third next-generation sports car.
Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin, expressed gratitude for Felisa's contributions, acknowledging his pivotal role in the company's recent successes. Stroll welcomed Hallmark, citing his exceptional leadership qualities and profound industry expertise as instrumental in advancing Aston Martin's strategic objectives.
