By appointing him as Chief Sales Officer the Board further strengthens its focus on service and customer orientation. I have made it my mission to promote customer focus and proximity as core guiding principles at MAN Diesel & Turbo. A lot of progress has been made over the past 12 months and the time is right to pass the sales responsibility into exclusive hands now.”
