Overview

• Effective December 1, 2025, Jörg Burzer moves from Production to lead Development & Procurement and becomes Chief Technology Officer, succeeding Markus Schäfer.
• Mercedes‑AMG head Michael Schiebe joins the board to oversee Production, Quality & Supply Chain Management on the same date.
• Markus Schäfer will leave when his contract expires after more than 30 years, having steered the company’s electrification and digital integration efforts.
• The supervisory board says the reshuffle combines continuity with generational renewal and tightens the operational link between engineering and manufacturing to boost competitiveness.
• A successor to Schiebe at AMG has not been announced, and the moves extend an ongoing board refresh that included a larger overhaul last December.
