In the event that there was any doubt about how it would be quickly advanced under the new property of McLaren, it has been confirmed that CEO Michael Leiters will resign. He started in McLaren as recently as July 2022, joining from Ferrari and with the unvoyable task of getting McLaren from his Mire Covid.
“His contribution and leadership were crucial for the transition of the company, including important phases such as recapitalization and change of property,” says the press release. In product terms, the Leiters era has been occupied, with the update of Artura, W1 and the 750 sensational that arrive in recent years. The last launch has also been managed better than 720, with fewer cars that flood the market immediately and remain firm as a result. They are £ 235k, if you are interested.
With Leiters’ departure in force immediately, Nick Collins will assume his role, the man who leads to the entire McLaren Group Holdings operation, Foreseven. Then, a few months busy ahead for him. It has not yet been made clear if a replacement will be recruited for leiters, or if Collins will assume the full time.
What the future holds Leiters, 53, is not clear at the moment, although given his CV there will probably be some places interested in taking advantage of his experience. “I feel honored to have led McLaren Automotive in the last three years. I am grateful to have worked along with such a dedicated and talented team. I am proud of what we have achieved together and sure that the business is in a strong path for success. I wish that everyone involves them the best in the future.”
At least friendly enough, at least in the form of a press release. It is difficult to imagine that he foresaw his role that lasted only three years.
Nick Collins added: “We thank Michael for his leadership and tremendous contributions made for a crucial moment for McLaren Automotive. I wish him the best in his personal and professional future.” Wait many more comings and goings when the company, under its new sponsors based in Abu Dhabi, embarks on its new and bold future.
