Bentley Appoints VW Manager to Personnel Post

Volkswagen AG's Bentley Motors unit has named Ariane Reinhart to become its board member for personnel on Oct. 1.

Reinhart, who joined VW in 1999, currently recruits and develops sales and marketing managers for VW Group's brands worldwide. She will replace Christine Gaskell, who will retire after 17 years at the British luxury carmaker.

Reinhart's appointment is the latest in a series of management changes following a major executive shakeup early this month that included Audi and Bentley.
