Continuing Saga of Aston Martin: CFO Jumps Ship

Post by SSO »

Just posted up a new blog on Aston Martin CFO's sudden departure:

https://karenable.com/continuing-saga-o ... umps-ship/

Announcement coincides with an article in BusinessF1 coming out indicating further delays on the Valkyrie with none likely to be delivered in 2021. Definitely not a good sign in terms of where the business is heading.

It's like some hideous reality TV relationship program...

Did enjoy the inside view of the big wig question time, I'd had in my head a bunch of super slick exec types with Uber precise technical questions. Not, y'know this stuff doesn't really look kosher, can you explain it? :D

Good, if ugly for AML fans, read.

Doesn't look good. Very interesting, thanks for posting. The last comment posted raised an eyebrow, the possibility of delivering the cars as 'garage queen' material that don't actually work :o

I would guess the "Garage Queen" is there only option if they hope to get an "official" delivery done this year.

Otmar’s left the f1 team, leaving it with no team principal, and they’ve said his duties will be managed within the leadership team. Doesn’t look any sunnier in the f1 team than the parent brand

I doubt working for Stroll is an inspiring, uplifting experience.
