Gerry McGovern, who has been instrumental in shaping the design of modern Range Rovers and the revived Defender, has exited Jaguar Land Rover after a 20-year tenure.
His departure, with no successor named, raises concerns about the continuity of design philosophy and the strategic direction of the brand moving forward.
