British luxury carmaker Aston Martin on Friday named Bentley head Adrian Hallmark as its new CEO to replace Amedeo Felisa in the latest management shake-up under chair and top shareholder Lawrence Stroll.
Hallmark will become the third CEO of Aston Martin since Stroll took over the carmaker in 2020 with a more than 20% stake acquisition.
“When Amedeo was appointed CEO, I spoke of him leading a new phase of growth and development. Two years on, we have delivered on that promise,” Stroll said.
Stroll brought in former Ferrari boss Felisa in 2022 to replace Tobias Moers.
“I believe now is the right time to allow the company to transition to new leadership,” Felisa said.

“When Amedeo was appointed CEO, I spoke of him leading a new phase of growth and development. Two years on, we have delivered on that promise,” Stroll said.
Stroll brought in former Ferrari boss Felisa in 2022 to replace Tobias Moers.
“I believe now is the right time to allow the company to transition to new leadership,” Felisa said.
Earlier on Friday Bentley said Hallmark, who has been CEO of the company since February 2018, was leaving at his own request and by mutual consent.
“He is preparing for new tasks outside the Volkswagen Group with immediate effect,” according to Bentley.
Aston Martin said Hallmark would take over the reins no later than October 1.
Aston Martin in February delayed the launch of its first electric car because of a lack of consumer demand as record prices for its luxury and special edition models helped the carmaker shrink annual losses.
