David Smith of Jaguar Land Rover - Investing in Our Future
David Smith became Chief Executive of Jaguar Land Rover in June 2008 on the sale to Tata, after twenty five years in the automotive industry with Ford. He has also been a Board member of Advantage West Midlands for the last five years.
David has had a roller coaster ride during 2008, dealing with complex transition issues for the newly independent company, putting the long term strategy for the business in place and trying to manage through the fallout from the worst global financial crisis for generations.
In this lecture, David will outline how he sees the future and the opportunity to develop Jaguar Land Rover into one of tomorrow's industrial companies during a period of such uncertainty.
This Lecture is free to attend and open to all.
