Ex-Renault boss Thierry Bollore named as new JLR CEO

Bolloré will succeed Ralf Speth as the head of the UK's largest car maker on 10 September

Ex-Renault CEO Thierry Bolloré has been announced as the new CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, replacing Dr Ralf Speth.

The Frenchman will assume his new role on 10 September 2020, following his dismissal from Renault’s board of directors in October last year. 

Reports at the time suggested Renault aimed to distance itself from former boss Carlos Ghosn, and that Bolloré had a difficult relationship with bosses at partner brand Nissan.
