The Supervisory Board of ZF Friedrichshafen AG appointed Dr Lea Corzilius as the new member of the Board of Management responsible for Human Resources, Legal and Compliance with effect from August 1, 2023. A communication from the technology company said that the 34-year-old economist was most recently employed as a member of the Management Board responsible for Human Resources at the Lippstadt-based automotive supplier Hella.
Dr Heinrich Hiesinger, Supervisory Board Chairman, ZF, said, “With Dr. Lea Corzilius, we have gained a highly competent successor for Sabine Jaskula. She knows the supplier industry and its current challenges very well and can therefore complement the Board of Management team around Dr Holger Klein without any start-up time and set her own impulses.'
“I would like to expressly thank Sabine Jaskula for her commitment to ZF over the past years. Thanks to her leadership, her areas of responsibility have developed quite decisively in recent years and are thus playing their part in implementing the ZF strategy,” Hiesinger added.
Sabine Jaskula had joined ZF from Continental in 2019 and has been responsible for Human Resources, Legal and Compliance and Sustainability for the past five years.
Dr Corzilius studied economics at the WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management and the HEC Paris and earned her doctorate at the Technical University of Dortmund. In addition, she completed a Master of Laws at the University of Heidelberg. From 2011 to 2017, she worked for McKinsey & Company in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. In 2017, she moved to the automotive supplier Hella and held various positions in the company’s human resources department.
After Sabine Jaskula’s announcement in February that she would not extend her contract at ZF beyond its term, which ends in December 2023, the Supervisory Board had intensively dealt with the search for a successor.
