As President and Chief Executive Officer of BMW Designworks USA, his creation of the Z8 Roadster took the globe by storm, while his stints at Aston Martin as board member and design director resulted in the turnaround of Aston Martin through the famed DB9/V8 Vantage, which to this day is the most sold Aston Martin ever.
