Back in November, it was first reported that former Opel CEO Carl-Peter Forster would join Tata Motors to run its British operations at Jaguar–Land Rover. While nothing came of that rumor, last week Forster was named as the new CEO of the parent company Tata Motors with responsibility for all of its automotive operations including JLR.
Forster left Opel last fall following the collapse of the deal to sell a majority to stake to Magna International, and he was reportedly very angry at the way the U.S. management handled the whole deal.
Forster had been with Opel for eight years following a 13-year stint at BMW. You can read more in the official Tata press release after the jump.
