  • Thomas Schäfer will temporarily take over responsibility on the Board of Management for Human Resources

Wolfsburg. Gunnar Kilian will be leaving Volkswagen AG’s Group Board of Management with immediate effect. His current area of responsibility, Human Resources, will be taken over by Thomas Schäfer until further notice. The Group Supervisory Board adopted this resolution on Friday. This became necessary due to differing views on how holding companies should be managed.

Both the Chairman of the Supervisory Board Hans Dieter Pötsch and the Chairman of the Board of Management Oliver Blume expressed their sincere gratitude to Mr. Kilian for the work he had done. “Gunnar Kilian has been instrumental in the Group’s transformation in recent years. He ensured that the Human Resources Division is fit for the future and played a key role in the strategic realignment of the commercial vehicle business,” said Mr. Pötsch. “Gunnar Kilian used his in-depth knowledge of the Group and its structures to set important factors in motion that will shape the Group’s long-term success,” Mr. Blume added.
