German automaker Porsche said on Wednesday that it has appointed Tobias Sühlmann as the Design chief, replacing Michael Mauer after twenty two years in the role. “His work has shaped the style of the Porsche brand and will remain visible in the future. After internships at Mercedes-Benz and PSA Peugeot Citroën in 2003 and 2004, the new executive joined Volkswagen in 2005. The former Polestar CEO and Volvo designer Thomas Ingenlath is set to return to the Geely-backed brand as Chief Design Officer, effective February 1. Ingenlath started his career at Volkswagen Group’s brand Skoda in 1999, staying until 2005 — before moving to the main Volkswagen brand.
