Munich. A core element of the BMW Group’s corporate
Strategy Number ONE NEXT is to increase customer orientation and
to focus on future technologies and growth opportunities in global
markets. In line with this, the BMW Group is reorganising its sales
regions across numerous growth markets.
Sales and marketing operations in Asia Pacific (excluding China),
Eastern Europe (outside EU), the Middle East and Africa will be
integrated into a single sales region. Hendrik von
Kuenheim will take responsibility for this new region on
1st February 2019 and further leverage the opportunities
for growth in this dynamic set of countries. Mr. von Kuenheim is
currently responsible for the sales and marketing in Eastern Europe,
the Middle East and Africa.
Commenting on this new structure, Pieter Nota, member of the BMW AG
Board of Management responsible for Sales and Brand BMW, said, “What
these markets have in common is great growth potential. This
reorganization will enhance collective market strength and ensure
that, together with our partners in the region, we can fully
capitalize on our exciting line-up of new products. Hendrik has
extensive sales experience from various management roles with the BMW
Group across all regions worldwide. He brings in-depth knowledge of
the individual market dynamics, the customer requirements and
capabilities of the respective teams in this region. A smooth
transition and fast start are guaranteed.”
