Dr Bussmann will not extend his contract as chairman of the executive board (CEO) of TÜV SÜD that runs until 31 December 2025.
“This decision was not an easy one for me to make, because I have been enthusiastic about my work for TÜV SÜD AG from the very beginning,” said Dr Bussmann. “However, the offer from MTU Aero Engines gives me the rare opportunity to return to an industry that I am absolutely passionate about. As an aerospace engineer who has spent almost his entire professional life in aviation, I have therefore accepted this offer.”
Wolfgang Dehen, chairman of TÜV SÜD’s supervisory board, said: “Johannes Bussmann and his team have delivered measurable success, and he has personally initiated forward-looking developments. It is with great regret that I have accepted his decision not to extend his contract. The company owes him a debt of gratitude.”
