WilliamsF1 today
confirmed details of a restructuring of its senior management and the
creation of a Senior Management Group (SMG) which will be the key
decision-making forum within the organisation.
The SMG is intended to enhance performance throughout WilliamsF1 through a
more focused allocation of responsibilities, leading to improved target
setting and deliverability.
The SMG will include:
Frank Williams - Team Principal
Patrick Head - Director of Engineering
Chris Chapple - Chief Executive Officer
Sam Michael - Technical Director
Alex Burns - Chief Operating Officer
Jim Wright - Head of Marketing
John Healey - Head of Legal Services
Frank Williams and Patrick Head will retain overall responsibility for
strategy, principal relationships and all key operating and financial
decisions. The SMG is intended to facilitate this through the allocation of
operating responsibilities among the senior management of the company,
allowing Frank and Patrick to focus more of their time on the key strategic
issues and targets upon which the success of WilliamsF1 depends.
In relation to today's announcement, Frank Williams commented, "This is a
positive step which reflects the long term success, rapid growth and
increased complexity of both WilliamsF1 and Formula One in general. I am
confident that the changes we are announcing today will improve overall
performance within WilliamsF1 and will allow Patrick and myself to spend
more of our time focused on ensuring we deliver key targets upon which the
success of the company depends." |
