The Volkswagen Group has announced big personnel changes in its Cariad division. Peter Bosch, known for his work at Bentley and as a Volkswagen representative on the Scout Motors Board, has been appointed CEO of the software subsidiary.
Bosch will lean on support from an array of managers, software specialists, and technology specialists who will push Cariad to greater heights. “Peter Bosch is the right CEO at the right time,” said Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume. “He is a strategist, an enabler, and a team player. He successfully proved that at Bentley. He knows the Volkswagen Group well and also has extensive experience in the fields of change and consulting,” added Blume.
Rumors of a corporate reshuffling first hit the automotive grapevine last week, with various outlets reporting that the majority of the executive board would be dismissed.
