The latest episode is a fascinating discussion with Jochen Lenz, Head Of Global Mobility at Daimler Truck, who went through the experience of relaunching Mobility at Daimler Truck, when it spun out from Daimler. Jochen started his career in Global Mobility Controlling at Daimler about 15 years ago, as he wanted to work internationally. In 2015 he moved to a more HR-focused role in Japan which he enjoyed professionally and privately – thanks to great food & snowboarding there. After returning to Germany he was part of the Daimler Truck spin-off in 2021, and led the build-up of the new Global Mobility function there.

An incredibly insightful episode - enjoy!
