Bentley’s new CEO was instrumental in the development of the Porsche 918 Spyder
After Adrian Hallmark left his post as CEO & Chairman of Bentley to join Aston Martin earlier this March, the company announced that Frank-Steffen Walliser of Porsche would take the reins as Bentley ’s new leader.
In 2010, Walliser became instrumental in the development of the Porsche 918 Spyder super sports car as its project leader. Then in 2014, he made a name for himself as Head of Motorsport before taking over management of the 911 and 718 product lines at the beginning of 2019. Since 2022, he has been in charge of overall vehicle development at Porsche.
“I am approaching this job with great respect and looking forward to having a team in Crewe that has shown impressive performance over the last few years. The continuing transformation of the automotive industry will be a major task for Bentley as well, a task that I am happy to take on with the team. I am convinced Bentley will continue to set standards in the luxury segment in the future,” said Walliser.
“In Frank-Steffen Walliser, Bentley is getting an experienced engineer with distinct product and technology expertise and entrepreneurial experience who brought brand-defining models to the streets at Porsche, including the Porsche 918 Spyder. On Bentley’s ongoing path toward becoming the leading provider in the luxury segment, Frank-Steffen Walliser’s many years of experience and knowledge of the luxury segment will be invaluable,” shared Döllner.
