At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Mercedes-Benz Group AG reappointed Renata Jungo Brüngger (62) until the end of 2025 and Britta Seeger (54) until the end of 2029. Renata Jungo Brüngger has been a member of Mercedes-Benz Group AG’s Board of Management since January 1, 2016, responsible for Integrity, Governance & Sustainability. Britta Seeger has been a member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG since January 1, 2017, responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Marketing & Sales.
“We look forward to continuing our collaboration with these experienced managers, both of whom have made outstanding contributions to Mercedes-Benz.
Renata Jungo Brüngger has been instrumental in ensuring that sustainability is deeply integrated into the corporate strategy. In her role as sustainability coordinator, she advances the company-wide management in this area crucial to the long-term success. In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, her forward- looking, cross-functional governance approach is instrumental in ensuring that Mercedes-Benz can develop technical and digital innovations while ensuring they remain on a sound legal footing.
Britta Seeger initiated key decisions which proved to be of far-reaching strategic importance for global sales: She has advanced the digitisation of sales channels and the consistent customer orientation of all units in an innovative manner, demonstrating far sightedness. In exceptionally challenging times, she and her team have become the crucial link between the brand and the customer, creating a flexible organization excellently positioned for the future.”
