Dresden/Bad Neustadt a.d. Saale. Effective January 1, 2017, 44-year-old Stavros Mitrakis became the new CEO of Dresden-based Preh Car Connect GmbH. He thus replaces 54-year-old Dr. Ralf Voß, who held the position temporarily following Preh’s acquisition of the former TechniSat Automotive. To ensure the best possible coordination of Preh’s ongoing business (especially car HMI), Mitrakis has also been appointed to the boards of Preh Holding and Preh GmbH, where he will represent Preh Car Connect. Stavros Mitrakis was most recently Senior Director for Research & Development at Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe GmbH in Langen. Before that, he held a number of leading roles at Harman/Becker Automotive Systems GmbH in Karlsbad. He is an engineering graduate of Reutlingen University (FH) and originally comes from Stuttgart.
The management board of Preh Car Connect GmbH now comprises CEO Stavros Mitrakis; CTO Stefan Gottschlag (37), responsible for product development; COO Benjamin Lobenz (36), the director of production processes and locations; and commercial director (CFO) Chris Wenzel (41).
