He will begin his new role as managing director of BMW Group Ireland on January 1, taking over from Paulo Alves who has led the Irish operation for five years.
Davidson had overseen the development and performance of the UK’s BMW dealer network since 2012, including the BMW Group Academy and its customer experience team.
