Jaguar Land Rover Australia gets new Managing Director

Jaguar Land Rover has appointed a new Managing Director to head up its Australian operations.

Penny Ferguson joined the British firm's local arm in July after leading other luxury brands Tiffany & Co. and Paspaley, and brings more than 15 years leadership experience in the fields of retail sales and operations, customer service, and finance.

Before that, Ferguson built her early career in chartered accounting and holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney.

She succeeds Mark Cameron who returned to the UK to become the company’s global Commercial Director for Vehicle Programmes and Transformation, following three years as MD Down Under.

“Penny brings a depth of business experience gained within the luxury jewellery industry," said Martin Limpert, Regional Director Overseas at JLR.

"As Market Director and member of Tiffany & Co.’s leadership team for Australia and New Zealand, Penny successfully drove the establishment and expansion of its operations in the region.

"With her broad expertise in multi-channel luxury retail operations and finance, customer-centric mindset, and modern leadership style, Penny is well-placed to drive our business transformation in line with the Jaguar Land Rover Reimagine strategy.”

Launched in February last year, the brand's Reimagine strategy is designed to help Jaguar Land Rover achieve zero tailpipe emissions by 2036 and net zero carbon emissions across its supply chain, products and operations by 2039.
