Lars Korinth has been announced as the new Head of Investor Relations in the Volkswagen Group, starting in autumn 2023. He will be taking over from Julian Krell, who will be leaving the company on June 30, 2023, by his own request. Korinth is already familiar with the company, as he previously worked as a Senior Investor Relations Manager at Volkswagen and most recently as the Head of Investor Relations at TRATON SE. In his new role, Korinth will be reporting to Rolf Woller, the Head of Group Treasury and Investor Relations.

Rolf Woller, the Head of Treasury and Investor Relations, commented on the appointment, stating, “The Volkswagen Group is currently undergoing a critical phase of transformation. In 2023, our main focus is on implementing our strategic goals. With his extensive knowledge of different industrial sectors, including the energy industry and banking sector, Lars Korinth, a former equity analyst, brings valuable expertise. I believe he will work closely with the team to create significant momentum.” Lars Korinth will be succeeding Julian Krell as the Head of Investor Relations at the Volkswagen Group, while Rolf Woller will temporarily assume the additional role until Korinth takes over.

Lars Korinth has a degree in banking business administration and has previously held various roles as an equity analyst and Investor Relations Manager. During his time at Volkswagen, he served as the Senior Investor Relations Manager for four years. He also led the Investor Relations department at Henkel, a consumer and industrial goods group, for over four years until early 2022. Most recently, Korinth served as the Head of Investor Relations at TRATON SE, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, which is a prominent global truck manufacturer known for its brands Scania, MAN, Navistar, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus.
