Bentley has announced that Frank-Steffen Walliser, coming from Porsche, is the new CEO of the British brand, replacing Adrian Hallmark, who left the luxury brand in March for Aston Martin, starting on July 1.
Walliser has been at Porsche since 1995, where he oversaw the development of the 918 Spyder sports car. Later, he was in charge of the sports division of the German brand, before taking over the management of the 718 and 911 ranges, and eventually taking on full responsibility for the development of new Porsche models.
“I am looking forward to joining the Crewe team that has shown impressive performance in recent years. The ongoing transformation of the automotive industry will also be an important mission for Bentley, and a task that I am happy to take on with the team. I am convinced that Bentley will continue to set standards in the luxury segment in the future,” said Frank-Steffen Walliser.
