Uwe Hagen, Audi MD, will officially leave Australia tomorrow, January 15, returning to Germany to recover from a motorcycle accident last year.
He has held the top job at Audi Australia since early 2010, and remains a senior executive.
A successor will be announced shortly. In the interim, the company’s acting managing director is the chairman of the board of Audi Australia, André Konsbruck, who heads an experienced general management team that will be responsible for the daily operation of the business.
During Hagen’s tenure, the Audi brand has grown by a remarkable 40% in Australia, and has continued to invest in its national network of dealerships.
Some 20 new or significantly upgraded models have also been launched in the three years since 2010.
