About the Expert

Who is Kevin Gaskell?

Kevin Gaskell is a visionary leader with a proven track record of revitalizing global companies such as Porsche and BMW, achieving record-breaking transformations in profitability and customer satisfaction. Entrepreneur, investor, and advisor, Gaskell combines his expertise across technology, data, manufacturing, and consumer sectors with a passion for unlocking human potential and organizational excellence. As an author and adventurer, he inspires audiences to turn adversity into opportunity and to create exceptional teams. Having led turnarounds at three of the world’s most recognizable automotive brands within a single career, he brings a rare pattern-recognition ability for what separates a struggling organization from a genuinely world-class one, regardless of industry.

What is his professional background?

With more than 25 years leading companies, Kevin has held CEO positions at Porsche, BMW, and Lamborghini, spearheading transformation and record growth. At Porsche GB, he turned the brand from last in customer satisfaction to the top spot and highest profitability. At BMW GB, he achieved a 500% profit increase and four consecutive years of growth. He has founded and led businesses in technology and professional services, generating over £3 billion in shareholder value. A keynote speaker for companies such as Oracle, JP Morgan, and Google, he is also an adventurer with world records. Taking Porsche GB from last place in customer satisfaction to first, then repeating a similarly dramatic turnaround at BMW GB, demonstrates a genuinely repeatable methodology rather than a single stroke of luck at one company.
