Stuttgart/Atlanta. Porsche AG announced today the appointment of Dr. Kjell Gruner as President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America Inc. (PCNA). Dr. Gruner, 53, currently Chief Marketing Officer and Global Vice President Marketing, will succeed Klaus Zellmer.

As head of marketing, he has for years made a notable contribution to shaping the global development of the Porsche brand, most recently with the exceptional launch of the Porsche Taycan. As a long-time Porsche colleague and brand professional, his experience will be extremely valuable for the positive development of the Porsche brand in North America.”

Dr. Gruner studied in Germany and the U.S. and moved to Boston Consulting Group before joining Porsche in 1999, where he worked within several departments.
