BMW AG says Milan Nedeljkovic and Ilka Horstmeier have joined the company’s management board to oversee manufacturing and human resources, respectively, confirming a report from last week.
Nedeljkovic succeeds Oliver Zipse, who became BMW’s CEO last month, as head of production. Nedeljkovic, who joined BMW in 1993, most recently was senior vice president of corporate quality. He previously was plant manager of the carmaker’s facilities in Munich and Leipzig, Germany.
Horstmeier replaces Milagros Caina-Andree, who left the company last week for personal reasons. Prior to her new position, Horstmeier headed BMW's plant in Dingolfing, Germany, and previously led the company’s engine and e-powertrain division.
The carmaker touted Nedeljkovic and Horstmeier’s experience of managing large teams and working on electrification and digitalization programs. Their appointments also bring younger members onto BMW’s senior management team. Nedeljkovic and Horstmeier are both 50.
