Gernot Doellner, Volkswagen’s new strategy chief
On Tuesday, Volkswagen declared Porsche AG executive Gernot Doellner as the carmaker’s new strategy chief. Said to start from May 1.
“With the addition of Gernot Doellner we are gaining a proven strategist who has gained extensive experience at Porsche AG in the management of model series and in development strategy and innovation management,” said Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess.
“With him, we will systematically continue along our chosen path and further drive the transformation,” he further added.
The announcement comes a week after Volkswagen’s Power Day, which, along with more upbeat broker comments, has revitalized Volkswagen’s shares, which are up 50% year-to-date.
