Batteries, they're what's happening.
From The Straits Times, January 16:
SINGAPORE - Consumer electronics giant Dyson has appointed Mr Hanno Kirner as its new chief executive “for the next chapter of the company’s growth”, with current CEO Roland Krueger taking on a new board role.
Both appointments will take effect in February, the company announced on Jan 16.
Mr Kirner joins Dyson from Tata Group, where he was executive director of Jaguar Land Rover and led the group’s battery programme from 2021.
He joined Jaguar Land Rover in 2016 as a board member of the executive management and was responsible for corporate and product strategy, financial services, information technology, diplomatic affairs and special operations.
Mr Kirner’s previous roles include being chief financial officer at Aston Martin Lagonda and Rolls-Royce’s land and sea division. Before that, he was director of finance and IT at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
When asked by The Straits Times if Mr Kirner’s experience leading Tata’s battery programme marked a focus on battery production, a Dyson spokesperson said: “We’ve recruited him because he has very wide experience.”....
