BMW´s Management : Reitzle won election by one voice, Milberg considering resignation Reitzle
moving to Ford?
German magazine STERN (Hamburg) reports in its latest edition of Feb.
11, 1999, that Joachim Milberg, BMW AG, thinks about resignation from his new job as
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Following these insider information the former head of
development, Wolfgang Reitzle, was originally appointed for this job. But because of the
bare majority of only one voice, Reitzle declined the offer. Supported was Reitzle´s
decision by the tremendous problems with Rover. His argument was that he wanted the
complete board behind and not only half of it. Finally BMW had to find another candidate
and this turned out to be Joachim Milberg who now considers giving up the job.
It is discussed, that Reitzle will take over a position at Ford, which
was left without comment by Jac Nasser of Ford. |
Dr. Wolfgang Reitzle (49)
