He's an engineer or a financial guy ?

What an utterly fantastic carreer for this man so far! I mean, holy sh!t, just look at that list!!!

He is an economist.

But mind he will be a "CEO" of M GmbH, while Gerhard Richter still remains a development chief there.

Also: all important strategic decisions & product planning regarding M is done by BMW AG Board of Directors.

Thanks Eni!

Btw, i thought Gerhard Richter would get the job, but i guess they want him to focus on engineering only.
