Audi CEO Markus Duesmann will be replaced by Gernot Döllner, the head of product and strategy for the Volkswagen Group car auto cars
as chief executive. In Stuttgart, Döllner led the Panamera department, and since 2021 has overseen product and strategy for the entire Volkswagen Group.
“I’m honored and excited to be taking on this new role,” said Döllner. “Audi is a fantastic company with a rich history. I look forward to shaping the company’s future together with the entire team at Audi.”The new Audi CEO’s role will be to ensure that it becomes an independent brand with “entrepreneurial autonomy” even as it serves the wider VW Group, said Peter Mosch, the company’s second-in-command, and the head of the works council.
Just the latest change in the VW Group’s highest ranks made by Blume, Döllner’s appointment follows the dismissal of nearly the entire executive board at Cariad, the company’s newly established software department. Döllner will have quite the job ahead of him, as the automaker is expected to release the Q6 e-tron later this year. It will be followed by another 20 models worldwide, all of which are set to arrive before 2025.
