 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has announced that Torsten Müller-Ötvös will join the company as its chief executive officer. He will assume the role at the end of March 2010 from Tom Purves, who will retire after 25 years service with the BMW Group.
During his more than 20 years with the Group, Torsten has held a number of management positions in the sales and marketing Division and was instrumental in brand and product management for MINI between 2000 and 2003. He successfully re-launched the MINI brand and internationally re-
established this quintessentially British marque as the first premium small car brand. In 2004 he assumed responsibility for central marketing and brand management at BMW. Torsten has been running BMW global product management since April 2008, as well as parts of its after-sales business.
Torsten will continue to report to Ian Robertson, member of the board of management of BMW AG responsible for group sales and marketing and also chairman of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
