Wolfsburg. In the wake of Oliver Blume’s appointment as the future Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, the company had decided to reorganize its communications. Rudolph will become the new head of Group Communications in addition to being Vice President Communications, Sustainability and Politics at Porsche AG. He will retain this dual function after a possible IPO of Porsche AG.

Oliver Blume: “Sebastian Rudolph is the ideal person for the future dual role. His professional expertise, experience and leadership style have shaped communication at Porsche. When he joined Porsche almost three year ago, he was already my preferred candidate. We’re also delighted that Nicole Mommsen will remain at Group Communications in Wolfsburg.”

Nicole Mommsen will take charge of the Group’s corporate communication and will also act as deputy and internal COO for Group Communications. Priscilla Cortezze, current Head of corporate communication for the Volkswagen Group, will assume a new created position focus on International & Strategy.
