The man installed by Tata to guide the Jaguar (http://www.autoblog.com/make/jaguar/)/Land Rover (http://www.autoblog.com/make/land-rover/) ship, David Smith (http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/news/900705), has left the company. Smith was the head of finance for Ford Europe, and had helped sell Aston Martin (http://www.autoblog.com/make/aston-martin/) to Dave Richards' group before he assisted in the sale of Jaguar to Tata. He has been the CEO since 2008, and just last year helped the company secure a £340 million ($553 million) European Investment Bank loan guarantee. A short statement from the company itself gave no reason for the departure, saying only that Ravi Kant, company director, will take over in the meantime while a successor is found.
