Changes to the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG
London, December 11, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– The Supervisory Board of Mercedes-Benz Group AG has decided on changes to the company’s Board of Management. In 2025, Mercedes-Benz will bid farewell to the highly esteemed board members Sabine Kohleisen, Renata Jungo Brüngger, and Hubertus Troska as their contracts expire and they retire. They have significantly shaped the company over many years with their dedication and expertise. With the appointment of the new board members Mathias Geisen, Oliver Thöne, and Olaf Schick, a rejuvenation of the Board of Management is initiated and, at the same time, the consistent transformation of the company is continued.
Sabine Kohleisen, board member for Human Relations (HR) and Labour Director, has asked the Supervisory Board of Mercedes-Benz Group AG not to extend her contract, which expires at the end of November 2025. In the interest of the company and to accelerate the rejuvenation of the Board, she will step down from her mandate on April 30, 2025. As a key architect of personnel change and the profound transformation and digitalisation of the HR department, Sabine Kohleisen, together with her team, has set the course for Mercedes-Benz to be one of the most attractive employers in Germany.
The successor to Sabine Kohleisen will be Britta Seeger, currently board member for Marketing & Sales, starting on May 1, 2025. Over the past years, Britta Seeger has made crucial strategic decisions for global sales. Under her leadership, the digitalisation of sales channels has been significantly advanced, our brand has been rejuvenated and realigned, and customer orientation has been consistently expanded. Britta Seeger will hand over sales responsibilities and start her induction into the role of board member for HR and Labour Director on March 1, 2025.
Mathias Geisen, currently Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, has shaped the van division into an extremely successful business unit in recent years, whilst using his entrepreneurial skills to drive the future van portfolio. He will be appointed to the Board of Management on February 1, 2025, and will take over the leadership of the Marketing & Sales board division on March 1, 2025.
China remains the most important market for Mercedes-Benz. During a phase in which the company is further expanding its collaboration with local partners and technology leaders, Hubertus Troska, currently the board member for Greater China with planned retirement in 2025, has decided to take on a new role as Board Member and General Authorised Representative of Mercedes-Benz Group AG for China starting on February 1, 2025.
