According to a report in the Financial Times, Palmer, who has been CEO since 2014, will be replaced by AMG boss Tobias Moers on Tuesday.
The move comes off the back of a difficult financial situation for the British luxury sportscar maker, whose share price has collapsed from £19 when it was floated in October 2018, to around 35 pence now.
Aston Martin has not confirmed the arrival of Moers but did issue a statement saying that it was reviewing its structure.
A statement said: “The company confirms that it is reviewing its management team and a further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.”
The change of CEO comes against the backdrop of Stroll’s arrival at the company to help turn around its fortunes.
He has helped pull together a consortium of investors to help deliver much needed capital through a rights issue, and has also convinced Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff to take a small shareholding.
With Aston Martin taking the naming right for Stroll’s Racing Point outfit from next year, the Canadian has spoken several times about his determination to make a success of the venture.
Speaking in April he said: “Our ambition for the company is significant, clear and only matched by our determination to succeed.
"The rights issue and the investment that I, and my co-investors in the consortium, have made has underpinned the financial security of, and our confidence in, the business.”
