Bosch has announced that the Management Board Member, Filiz Albrecht, Director - Industrial Relations, responsible for human resources and social welfare, occupational safety, environmental protection and sustainability, legal services, compliance management, information security, data privacy, and the Bosch business in India has decided not to prolong her contract after 2024. Stefan Grosch will succeed Albrecht.
The company noted that Albrecht was guided in this decision by her own wishes for her future life and career and will step down from the board of management effective March 31.
Albrecht said, “I can look back with gratitude on the years in which my team and I were able to give a new strategic direction to many areas at Bosch, especially human resources, compliance and legal services, and sustainability management.”
With extensive training programmes in mobile and digital transformation aimed at securing employment, innovative measures for making HR work more efficient, and the systematic implementation of a modern smart-work approach, the team made the company a frontrunner in her area of responsibility, as well as fit for the future, she added.
Prof Stefan Asenkerschbaumer, Managing Partner, Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Robert Bosch GmbH, said, “We respect Filiz Albrecht’s decision and regret that she is leaving us. We wish her all the very best for the future. With her proactive and sympathetic manner, she made significant contributions to shaping the company’s future.”
Dr Stefan Hartung, Chairman of the Board of Management of Robert Bosch GmbH, said, “Filiz Albrecht has done sterling work for our company. We would explicitly like to thank her for helping to steer the company through a phase marked by pandemic, fundamental upheaval in our markets, and digital transformation.”
Grosch began his career at Bosch in 1992. Following executive positions at plants in Spain and Brazil, he worked at corporate headquarters, where his responsibilities also included internal auditing.
In 2017, he joined Robert Bosch Automotive Steering GmbH as director of industrial relations, responsible for finance and purchasing. Since October 2022, he has been executive vice president for commercial affairs in the Powertrain Solutions division.
