Porsche Overhauls Leadership Team with Key Appointments

Longtime executives depart as Jochen Breckner and Matthias Becker step into critical roles during a challenging period for the automaker.

Porsche has announced leadership changes, with Lutz Meschke (Finance and IT) and Detlev von Platen (Sales and Marketing) leaving the company by mutual agreement.
Jochen Breckner, a Porsche veteran since 2000, will take over as Finance and IT head, bringing extensive experience in corporate development and financial strategy.
Matthias Becker, previously head of Porsche's Overseas and Emerging Markets division, will assume the role of Sales and Marketing chief.
The leadership shake-up follows a period of declining sales in China and internal challenges, with both departing executives reportedly linked to these difficulties.
The appointments are seen as a move to stabilize Porsche’s management as it faces stagnating growth, reduced profitability, and workforce reductions in the coming years.
