The Supervisory Board of BMW Group has extended the contract of German business executive, Oliver Zipse, as the Chairman of the Board of Management (CEO) until 2026. 59 year old Zipse has been a member of the Board of Management since 2015 and Chairman of the Board since 16 August 2019.
During his term of office, the BMW Group significantly expanded its range of electric vehicles and started the development of the Neue Klasse as the next model generation, with production starting in 2025.
Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BMW AG, said:
“Oliver Zipse has very successfully steered the company in recent years through an extremely volatile environment. In a phase of global crises and profound transformation, the BMW Group has not only achieved reliably robust results under his leadership, but has also sustainably strengthened its leading position in global competition. With the Neue Klasse, the BMW Group is well on track to further expand this position.”

“The good cooperation between the Board of Management and the Works Council will be continued with the reappointment of Oliver Zipse. I am convinced that we will continue to jointly take constructive decisions and I am therefore looking positively to the future.”
