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.
