Thomas Sidlik retires from DaimlerChrysler
DaimlerChrysler AG has announced the retirement of Thomas Sidlik, chief of global purchasing and supply that becomes effective at the closing of the takeover of the Chrysler Group by Cerberus Capital Management in the third quarter.
In the future there will no longer be a separate board of management position for procurement after the realignment. All procurement activities will be directly coordinated between the divisions. Within the board of management, Bodo Uebber will additionally assume overall responsibility for procurement.
Sidlik, who has been a member of the board of management since 1998, will continue as chairman of the board of trustees of Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti to which he was elected in January, 2007. He was appointed to that board by Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm in 2005.
"Sidlik has been committed to the success of DaimlerChrysler since the first day of the merger, and now, based upon the new management concepts for the Chrysler Group and DaimlerChrysler, it is a mutual and agreeable decision that he leaves the board." said Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board of management of DaimlerChrysler AG and head of Mercedes Car Group.
