Volkswagen Group Korea said on the 27th that, effective Apr. 1, Michael Ant, president of China FAW-Audi Sales Company, will be appointed president of the Volkswagen brand.
Until now, Til Scheer, CEO and president of Volkswagen Group Korea, had concurrently overseen the Volkswagen brand. The new president, Ant, will be responsible for the overall operation of the Volkswagen brand and is expected to focus on strengthening execution while maintaining continuity in strategic direction. In line with the operating policy for group brands in Korea, Ant will report directly to President Scheer.
The new president, Ant, joined the Volkswagen Group in 1998 and worked there for about 30 years. He has served in key posts in major markets such as Germany and China, working across various brands including Volkswagen, Skoda, and Audi.
A Volkswagen Group Korea official said, "This personnel move shows Volkswagen Group Korea's continued commitment to the Korean market and reflects our intent to strengthen operational efficiency and market competitiveness through close cooperation among brands."
