She structured the necessary reorganization of thyssenkrupp with extreme care and strategic prudence, initiated it and then took it forward. The entire Supervisory Board wishes Martina Merz all the best for the future in every way. With Miguel Ángel López Borrego, we have attracted an internationally experienced manager with extensive expertise in the industrial and financial sector to thyssenkrupp. His experience and knowledge are exactly what the company needs right now to meet the challenges it faces. Under his leadership, we will be able to systematically advance the change process we have already initiated. We, the members of the Supervisory Board, look forward to working with Mr. Lopez.”
