“There’s a lot to do,” admits McLaren CEO Michael Leiters, who has been in one of the industry’s toughest yet potentially most rewarding jobs since July 1 last year. “It’s definitely challenging – but I think it’s the most exciting job in the automotive industry.”
We first spoke to Leiters just a few weeks into the job, when he ran through the lengthy to-do list: improve the quality and reliability of the cars, shore up the supply chain, deliver the troubled Artura hybrid supercar production, return to profitability… With a list like that, where do you start?
We met again this week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where Leiters detailed the progress he’d made.
