Porsche Headquarters Personnel
Auto Motor und Sport (German)According to a report from, Oliver Blume, the current president of Porsche AG, will apparently be appointed president of the next Volkswagen.
No, I was surprised.
By the way, Mr. Herbert Diess, the current CEO of Volkswagen, seems to remain in the position of controlling the entire operation of the VW group as it is, leaving the daily management of the VW brand to Mr. Oliver Blume. It seems to be in the form of.
It is said that Mr. Blume was appointed as VW's CEO this time in order to deal with two problems that VW currently has.
The two problems are VW's Mk8 Golf, which has been delayed in production due to software problems reported, and ID.3 (hatchback electric vehicle).
Porsche's next president is Bernhard Maier of Škoda Auto
And then, who will be the CEO of Porsche? It is said that it is now rich to be Bernhard Maier, the president of VW Skoda (Skoda Auto).
Bernhard Maier is said to have been the head of sales and marketing at Porsche before becoming CEO of Chocoda in 2015, so becoming CEO of Porsche is not so strange, on the contrary It seems that you know the inside story well.
The official personnel announcement has not been made yet, but I wrote it because it has already been reported. Oliver-san, it was wonderful.
Future direction of Porsche 911
It is good or bad that the movement of the organization changes when the president changes, but what will happen to Porsche in the future?
For example, even in Japan, until now, information on the new model in Japan about the world premiered model came out after a considerable number of days after the premiere, but Porsche Japan's Is it because the president has changed? Recently, the world premiere of the new model has been announced in Japan (order start, price announcement, configurator release, etc.) almost without delay from the announcement date.
In addition, it is becoming possible to select the left-hand drive even from Japan (even if the model itself has an MT transmission car, there are some that are not yet sold in Japan, but this will change soon. I'm expecting it to be there ^^)
… And I think that it may change in various ways when the president changes.
My question here.
It is not that Frank-Stephan Valiser, who is the current 911 development manager, and Oliver Blume, the current Porsche CEO, disagree on the future direction and ideal of 911. About what I was thinking.

The other day, Mr. 911 said "Build a new engine for the next Porsche 911"Tell the Australian media.
Isn't this also spoken without Mr. Oliver's consent? I was a little wondering, but in fact, if Mr. 911 already knew that the president would be replaced by Mr. Bernhard Meyer, and the talk with that is progressing, there are various media. If you were talking about it ...
Mr. Bernhard Meyer, who is said to be the president of the next Porsche, is still a mechanic.
Looking at the history, I felt more like a mechanic than Oliver Blume (my own opinion).
When it comes to ... Actually, Mr. Meyer is more similar to Mr. 911 than Mr. Oliver ... So, I was announcing various things aside from Mr. Oliver ...?
Haha, you think too much! I'm sorry, my guess is ^^
