Before being appointed as CEO, Ola headed the R&D and the sales divisions, led the AMG performance cars brand and ran the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Swedish-German manager joined the three-pointed star in 1993 after graduating from Stockholm School of Economics and University of St. Gallen.
