JLR Names Another New Boss For Jaguar Brand

JLR has appointed the company’s head of UK operations, Rawdon Glover, to oversee the revamped Jaguar brand. Glover’s title will be “Brand Managing Director, Jaguar,” JLR said in a statement. He succeeds Philip Koehn, who has only publicly been the boss of Jaguar for the past few weeks. Koehn had led the Jaguar team since the start of the socalled Panthera project in 2019, having previously worked at Rolls-Royce on its Architecture of Luxury.

Glover’s former job as managing director of JLR’s UK operations will be managed on an interim basis by Paddy

McGillycuddy, currently the head of sales and marketing in the UK, JLR said.

Glover joined Jaguar Land Rover in 2011 from Volkswagen Group, where he rose to the position of head of after sales and service for the group in the U.S.

He was initially appointed director of global customer service for JLR, before moving to the UK position in June 2018, according to his Linkedin profile.

The Jaguar brand has seen its vehicle sales decline as JLR directed scarce semiconductors toward its highly profitable Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender. .
