Martina Merz gives up after criticism of her course has grown. She achieved some goals, but not others.
The owners of Thyssenkrupp are very clear on what they think of this change in leadership: nothing at all. The technology and steel group’s share price continued to fall on Tuesday after falling sharply on Monday. The Essen-based company had previously announced that CEO Martina Merz had asked for her contract to be terminated. The successor will be a former Siemens manager – and the company emphasizes that he should continue to implement the strategy of his predecessor.
