Adrian Hallmark, the chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors Ltd. since February 2018, has proclaimed his exit from the company of his own accord and through mutual consent. Hallmark played an integral role in Bentley’s trajectory toward an electrified horizon as a purveyor of opulent automobiles throughout his incumbency. During his tenure, the leader of Bentley introduced cutting-edge luxury vehicles to the market and laid out long-term plans to position the brand as the leading provider of sustainable luxury transportation by the year 2030.
The CEO of Audi, Gernot Döllner, who also serves as the head of the Progressive Brand Group, expressed gratitude for the valuable contributions made by Adrian Hallmark. The Progressive Brand Group oversees Bentley and other marques within the Volkswagen Group, and Döllner’s commendation of Hallmark’s contributions highlights the latter’s significant impact on the organization. He acknowledged Hallmark’s accomplishments in guiding Bentley towards carbon-neutral electric vehicles within the luxury sector and expressed gratitude for his unwavering commitment.
Reflecting on his tenure at Bentley, Adrian Hallmark conveyed gratitude for the opportunity to redefine opulent locomotion for posterity. He appreciated the entire Bentley cohort for their synergistic endeavors throughout the years.
His departure bequeaths a vacancy for a successor, whose designation will be disclosed in due course. Bentley, headquartered in Crewe, United Kingdom, has been under the aegis of Volkswagen AG since 1998 and a constituent of the Audi Group since January 2022.
