Stephan Bauer becomes Chief Financial Officer.

We are pleased to announce that Stephan Bauer will take over the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH effective October 1, 2025.

Alongside his role as CFO and Managing Director, he will lead the Finance & Controlling and Corporate Functions team, which covers key areas including Finance, Controlling, Processes & Systems, and Human Resources. Together, these functions play a vital role in safeguarding and strengthening our corporate infrastructure.

Stephan began his professional career in 2014 at Mercedes-Benz AG in Revenue Controlling and Pricing for Greater China.
