Bernard Schäferbarthold will become the new CEO of HELLA, taking over from Michel Favre from January 2024. Schäferbarthold is currently Chief Financial Officer of HELLA and has been a member of the Management Board responsible for HELLA's Finance and Controlling corporate function since November 2016. He will continue to be responsible for the CFO role in combination of tasks, until a successor is appointed.
"Bernard Schäferbarthold has repeatedly demonstrated his high level of management expertise and has made a decisive contribution to steering HELLA safely through an industry environment characterized by numerous challenges in recent years. HELLA is thus excellently positioned for the future, not only strategically and financially, but also in terms of personnel. At the same time, I would like to explicitly thank Michel Favre for his excellent work. He has, for example, continued to drive forward the cooperation with Faurecia under the FORVIA umbrella, has managed an increasing amount of synergies and has shown great personal commitment to developing the Lippstadt site." said Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Ziebart, Chairman of the HELLA Shareholder Committee.
