BY ALL ACCOUNTS, Hildegard Wortmann, Audi's member of the board of management for sales and marketing, is a veteran in the automobile industry. She first joined BMW back in 1998 and swiftly moved up the ranks before taking on her current role at Audi in 2019.
Yet rather than resting on her laurels, she's remarkably prescient in her vision for electromobility, actively steering Audi into relatively uncharted terrain. Audi has announced that it will deliver solely electric-powered vehicles from 2026 and plans to cease its production of combustion engines by 2032. The Volkswagen Group, which includes Audi, is also investing around €160 billion into new, greener technologies.
