From October
Two new Executive Board members at MAN Truck & Bus
The Supervisory Board of MAN Truck & Bus SE has made two new appointments to the Executive Board. Christian Schenk (45) will take over the Finance, IT and Legal department of MAN Truck & Bus SE as well as the Finance department on October 1.
Holger Mandel (52, pictured) will also be responsible for Procurement on the Executive Board from October 1. He succeeds Dirk Große-Loheide, who left MAN Truck & Bus in February. Mandel has been responsible for the German market, which is very important for MAN Truck & Bus, since 2015; since this year, he has also been in charge of the Austrian and Swiss markets, which have been bundled with Germany to form the Sales Area Europe Central.
"On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to thank Jan-Henrik Lafrentz and Dirk Große-Loheide for their commitment and hard work," said Andreas Renschler, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of MAN Truck & Bus SE and CEO of TRATON SE. "The Supervisory Board welcomes the appointment of Christian Schenk and Holger Mandel to the two key positions. They are proven experts who enjoy an excellent reputation in our industry." He added: "MAN is a strong pillar of TRATON. A strong MAN Executive Board team is therefore also good for the Group."
"Holger Mandel and Christian Schenk will strengthen our Management Board team. Holger Mandel has done an outstanding job in recent years and has significantly advanced the German market in particular. Under his leadership, MAN has become the market leader here. Christian Schenk has a wealth of international experience in finance and controlling. I look forward to working with both colleagues on the Executive Board. I would like to thank Jan-Henrik Lafrentz for his outstanding achievements and his great commitment. He has made a significant contribution to the commercial success of the MAN Group," says Joachim Drees, Chairman of the Executive Board of MAN Truck & Bus SE and member of the Executive Board of Traton SE.
Saki Stimoniaris, Chairman of the General Works Council of MAN Truck & Bus, says: "On the employee side, we support the appointment of Christian Schenk and Holger Mandel to the Executive Board. Electromobility, digitalization, automated driving - MAN is facing major challenges and continues to need a strong management team. But only together can we shape this change in the interests of the company and the workforce."
