“Oliver Zipse has very successfully steered the company in recent years through an extremely volatile environment," said Supervisory Board chairman Norbert Reithofer.
"In a phase of global crises and profound transformation, the BMW Group has not only achieved reliably robust results under his leadership, but has also sustainably strengthened its leading position in global competition. With the Neue Klasse, the BMW Group is well on track to further expand this position.”
At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board also appointed Jochen Goller to succeed Pieter Nota and take over responsibility for the Customer, Brands and Sales division on Nov 1, 2023.
Goller has been with the BMW Group since 1999 and had spent more than 10 years with the company in the UK and China in various, cross-brand functions.
Since 2018, he has been managing the activities in the China region. During this time, the BMW Group was able to take over a majority stake in its local joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive. Goller was previously also responsible for the MINI brand.
