Audi Australia Managing Director, Paul Sansom.

Volkswagen Group Australia (VGA) has confirmed the resignation of its chief executive Paul Sansom.

In media statement VGA says finance director Gabriele de Neidels will be the interim chief executive.

The statement also says Sansom has stepped down to take a well-earned break before the next chapter of his career.

Sansom joined Volkswagen UK in 2003 then went on to manage Audi South Africa in 2014 before taking over the reins at Audi Australia in 2017.

He was appointed as the managing director of the restructured Volkswagen Australia Group to oversee all brand operations nearly 12 months ago. He holds several non-executive directorships and is also the chair of the Audi Foundation.
