Third name in three years
Mercedes-AMG gets another new CEO. Philipp Schiemer is stepping down after 2.5 years. He hands over the baton to Michael Schiebe, who will start in his new role on April 1.
Mercedes-AMG goes through its top men relatively quickly. In August 2020, Philipp Schiemer (photo 2) took over from Tobias Moers, who left for Aston Martin. Now it is Schiemer’s turn to make way for Michael Schiebe (photo 1), who will be at the helm of Mercedes’ sporting branch as of April 1.
Schiemer, who was previously CEO of Mercedes-Benz in Brazil, will remain active within Mercedes-Benz, but will soon be responsible for the ‘Top End’ customers and Community Management. A role in which he can therefore focus more on people than on products. Michael Schiebe is now chief of staff of the board of directors and head of Mercedes’ head office, who is mainly concerned with personnel matters, but will therefore become CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
