Volkswagen AG has named an executive from its luxury Bentley brand to lead its struggling software unit as new Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume seeks to fix longstanding issues.
Peter Bosch, who heads production at Bentley, will take the helm as Cariad CEO from June 1, replacing Dirk Hilgenberg, the German carmaker said Monday. He’ll be joined by “two acknowledged software experts,” VW said. Human resources head Rainer Zugehör will retain his role.
