Manage episode 270715010 series 2782830
Welcome back to the Esquire Q&A Podcast!
Today is a very special day for the podcast because it's the start of season three. Yes, the podcast has proven so popular that we are back, bringing with us an entirely new roster of interesting guests that represent both style and substance - two traits that us here at Esquire hold most dear.
As per usual, each week we will be sitting down with a man or woman who exhibits both style and substance, and talking about their interests, and figuring out what makes these people tick. Today is no different, as we will be delving in - for the first time in this podcast's history, I might add - into the motoring industry.
Yes, we have talked to artists, musicians, designers, hotel managers, influencers, gamers and more, but this marks our first-ever discussion based around cars.
Our guest today is Markus Leithe, who is the marketing manager of Infiniti Middle East. He is in charge of driving Infiniti's performance here in the region. He brings more than 20 years of automotive experience to the job, having previously worked for another motoring stalwart: General Motors.
Today we're going to go over everything from where the car industry is going - from both a design and a technological standpoint - as well as the elephant in the room, what the coronavirus might mean for the wider industry in general.
