Bentley's Adrian Hallmark shifts gears to become Aston Martin president
5:19 AM EDT, March 23, 2024
Adrian Hallmark unexpectedly announced his departure from Bentley, and the reasons for his decision quickly came to light.
Hallmark took over at Bentley in February 2018 and swiftly set to work. His stewardship proved to be a boon for the luxury car brand, as demonstrated by impressive sales figures. In his first year, Bentley sold 9,559 cars, which soared to 15,174 by 2022, underlining the brand's success during his tenure.
The future looks intriguing as Hallmark is set to assume the role of president at Aston Martin, with the company confirming his start date by October 2024 at the latest.
At the age of 61, he becomes the third president of Aston Martin in as many years. It will be interesting to see whether he can outlast his predecessors in this role. He succeeds 78-year-old Amadeo Felisa, who is stepping down.
