MEYLE AG, a spare parts manufacturer based in Hamburg, has appointed Marc Siemssen to its Executive Board, effective July 1. Siemssen has been MEYLE’s chief human resources officer for five years. In addition to human resources, Siemssen also will be responsible for marketing, sales and product management in the new role. He has many years of experience in leadership positions in the automotive and other industries.
Siemssen’s appointment completes the MEYLE Executive Board, which currently comprises Dr Karl J. Gaertner, chairman, and Dirk Damaschke, chief financial officer. “Over the past five years, Marc Siemssen has demonstrated an in-depth understanding of our company, the people here, our culture and our market, which is all the more remarkable considering the unique circumstances of the pandemic. We look forward to shaping the future of our company with his input,” said Gaertner.
Siemssen says he is highly motivated to perform his new role at the company. “I would like to thank you for placing your trust in me, and look forward to overcoming current challenges such as the pandemic and identifying new development opportunities for the manufacturer. I remain fully committed to my responsibilities in Human Resources, with a focus on culture, the employer brand and more,” he stated.
Working closely with his colleagues in Marketing, Sales and Product Management, Siemssen says he also is eager to help promote growth and success.
Siemssen says he sees huge potential in the global spare parts market for the manufacturer and developer of technically refined parts to establish an even stronger position internationally and generally increase brand awareness among those unfamiliar with the sector. For the benefit of business partners, customers and employees, Siemssen plans to pursue the company’s long-term aim of developing durable, innovative solutions, establishing a sustainable position and leading the company to the future alongside Gaertner and Damaschke.
