Volkswagen AG’s supervisory board intends to choose executives to succeed Karlheinz Blessing, who heads human resources, and Francisco Garcia Sanz, who oversees the group’s purchasing operations, according to media reports.
The board, which will meet on Friday, is widely expected to announce that CEO Matthias Mueller will be supplanted by VW brand chief Herbert Diess.
Reports say Blessing will be displaced by Gunnar Kilian, currently general secretary of the carmaker’s powerful works council. Blessing has led VW’s sluggish efforts to invigorate its bureaucratic corporate culture.
It isn’t clear who the supervisory board plans to succeed Sanz. He was temporarily reassigned from his position as head of procurement in late 2015 to oversee the company’s steps to resolve its diesel emission cheating crisis.
