Schmidtmayer
The Czech industry’s flagship company, car maker Škoda Auto, will soon see a changing of the guard in its top management. According to the German newspaper Bild, Škoda Auto’s chairman of the board, Detlef Wittig, will retire in June and will be replaced by Reinhardt Jung. Jung currently works as the director of production and sales at Škoda Auto’s parent company, Volkswagen. In the past, Jung worked as Volkswagen’s country manager in Mexico.
Prague Ruzyně Airport has announced that Miroslav Dvořák will replace the outgoing Hana Černochová as the airport’s general director. Dvořák will take over the management of the airport June 1, and his priority will be completing the airport’s transformation from a state-held company to a joint-stock company — a move that will enable the airport’s privatization in the future. Until recently, Dvořák worked as the head of private banking at ČSOB.
