North American Porsche CEO transferred to Volkswagen Group
Germany'sManager MagazineAccording to the report, Klaus Zellmer, the current president of Porsche in North America, may have been appointed as Chief Sales Officer of Volkswagen Group in the near future (there is no indication of when).
North America Porsche is still no comment on this matter.
Apparently, there have been various discussions about Jürgen Stackmann (58 years old), who is currently the top sales person of VW, and it seems that there is finally a change in that position.
Mr. Stackman, who is the current VW sales top, has been in the current VW position since 2015 after holding a director-level position in the VW groups Skoda and Seat.
According to media reports, Mr. Stackman is likely to leave VW soon, as there are various things and apparently the opposition to him has become quite strong inside VW.
One of the people who apologized for VW's racist advertisement in June was Mr. Stackman.
Well, he probably didn't make the ad, but it's also a story of layoffs that such a problem arose where his "how to sell a car" was originally questioned. May have promoted ...? ?? How is it?
Well, this time, Mr. Zelmer, the current North American Porsche CEO who is said to be appointed as the sales top of the next VW, has been a North American Porsche since he became the CEO of North America Porsche in the latter half of 2015. Those who have a track record of increasing sales by about 20%.
Mr. Zelmer, during the period of his CEO of North American Porsche, there were announcements of the new Porsche 911 and Taycan, but they corresponded well. He is also the program designer for Porsche's vehicle subscription program (there are such services overseas).
It was said in the media that "Porsche's CEO position in North America is a step towards VW's executive position." It is said that one of the starting points of his career as a VW executive is the position of Porsche CEO in North America.
the other day,"Porsche AG president replaced → Oliver Blume becomes Volkswagen presidentI also wrote about the content of the report, but the position of CEO of Porsche AG is a step to CEO of VW.
It was said when Oliver Blume's VW transfer was reported that Oliver was selected "to solve the problems that VW currently has."
In the next major reorganization of executives, VW may bring Mr. Oliver to the top from Porsche and Mr. Zelmer to the top of sales at once.
As with VW, when these two people move to VW, the top of Porsche AG and the top of North American Porsche that seems to have some influence will suddenly change, so it will affect future Porsche. Seems to be big.
I wonder what will happen.
