Effective February 1, 2024, Robert Bosch GmbH will undergo several personnel changes on its board of management. Dr. Frank Meyer will join the board, taking charge of the Energy and Building Technology business sector, which includes the Building Technologies and Home Comfort Group divisions and the Smart Home subsidiary. Meyer comes from the German energy provider E.ON, where he has been an executive since 2016 and most recently served as CEO of E.ON Italia. His background includes roles such as chief innovation officer of E.ON and CEO of E.ON Solutions GmbH, focusing on smart-home energy solutions and electromobility. Meyer has also worked for Vodafone Deutschland and as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group.
Dr. Christian Fischer, deputy chairman of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH and limited partner of Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG, will continue overseeing the Consumer Goods business sector, including the Power Tools division and BSH Haushaltsgeräte GmbH. Additionally, Fischer will lead the Growth Acceleration 2030 project, taking responsibility for the company’s strategic growth initiatives.
“In the shape of Frank Meyer, we are gaining an internationally experienced manager who has successfully overseen technology and service business with business customers and consumers, and focused on innovation and sustainability,” said Stefan Asenkerschbaumer, managing partner of Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG and chairman of the supervisory board of Robert Bosch GmbH.
Dr. Stefan Hartung, chairman of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH, added: “Under the leadership of Christian Fischer, major steps have been taken to pave the way for the successful development of the Energy and Building Technology business sector. This year, it has already achieved its 2025 targets for sales and results. This is a good basis for Frank Meyer to build on.”
Fischer said with his reassignment of responsibilities, the company will put itself in a good position for the future for further growth of Bosch’s consumer goods and energy and building technology businesses.
Dr. Tanja Rückert, CDO, will retain her current responsibilities, including digital business and services, and take on the Industrial Technology business sector. This sector encompasses the Drive and Control Technology division and the Bosch Manufacturing Solutions business unit. Bosch, which has been digitalizing and connecting its own plants and those of its customers for over a decade, is combining Industry 4.0 with artificial intelligence. Rückert’s new role reflects this development.
Dr. Markus Forschner, 56, will focus on his role as chief financial officer after successfully overseeing the Industrial Technology business sector for an interim period.
