Jochen Breckner (47) will take over responsibility for Finance and IT, with Matthias Becker (54) becoming responsible for Sales and Marketing.

The new members of the Executive Board of Porsche AG have been associated with the sports car manufacturer from Zuffenhausen for many years: Jochen Breckner has worked for Porsche since 2000 – first as an intern and diploma student, later as a doctoral student. The Stuttgart-born Doctor of Business Administration became assistant to the Chairman of the Executive Board in 2008. From 2010 to 2012, he was Head of Controlling for Sales, Marketing and Financial Services. From 2012, he reported directly to the Board of Management as Head of Product Controlling and later as Head of Controlling.

Since September 2018, Breckner has been Head of the General Secretariat and Corporate Development at Porsche. In this role, the proven finance and strategy expert was responsible for several broad-based projects. For example, he led the management of Porsche’s IPO and the long-term efficiency program with which the company systematically optimizes its financial resilience. Breckner’s successor in that role will be Christian Pantel, who is responsible for a model series in his current role at Porsche.

Matthias Becker has worked for Porsche AG since 2015. As Head of the Overseas and Emerging Markets region, he has developed sales regions such as Southeast Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and Central and South America – totaling more than 70 markets – into a central pillar of the Porsche sales network. Previously, Becker held several management positions within the Volkswagen Group. He proved himself for Audi in various leading sales functions in Europe and China, at the Group subsidiary Škoda and in Volkswagen marketing in Germany.

“With Jochen Breckner and Matthias Becker, the Executive Board team is gaining two experienced professionals who have lived Porsche for many years and bring a wealth of experience with them – Jochen Breckner from his various roles at Porsche and Matthias Becker from his roles at Porsche, Audi, Škoda and Volkswagen. Both colleagues have the quality to develop our company in a future-oriented manner from day one. We benefit here from structured succession planning and long-term personnel development,” said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG.
