The USA division of Mercedes-Benz will have a new vice president of sales starting from January 1, 2014, when the new job of Dietmar Exler will effectively start.
Exler will succeed Michael Slagter, senior vice president, sales, who will retire at the end of February 2014 after more than a decade of service with MB USA and nearly forty years in the automotive industry.
“Mike's strategic expertise, strong leadership and vast experience have been instrumental in driving MBUSA to the strongest growth in its history,” said Steve Cannon, president and CEO of MBUSA. “We've reached a bittersweet changing of the guard as we bid him farewell and welcome Dietmar to the MBUSA family. As we enter this new chapter, we're confident Dietmar's broad expertise and business acumen will make him a strong asset to the company moving forward.”
Exler's career spans nearly twenty years with international business experience in various leadership roles and he has been with the German company since 2004, back when DaimlerChrysler was still considered a “marriage made in heaven”.
