Stefan Weckbach becomes new Chairman of the Management Board.

December 08, 2025 – Mercedes-AMG GmbH is setting the course for its future leadership: Stefan Weckbach will assume the position of CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH on July 1, 2026, and will also become Head of the Top End Vehicle (TEV) Group.

After holding senior positions in product strategy, across various model lines, and a concept car project at Porsche AG, Weckbach has served since 2023 as Head of Group Strategy, Group Product Strategy, and the General Secretariat at Volkswagen AG. Until Weckbach assumes office, his predecessor Michael Schiebe – who joined the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG on December 1 responsible for Production, Quality & Supply Chain Management – will continue to manage the affairs of Mercedes-AMG on an interim basis.
