Recognising the challenge before it arises

Andreas-Christoph Hofmann is one of the top executives in the German automotive industry and has not only read about leadership – he has put it into practice for 35 years at leading car manufacturers. As a former senior executive at premium and mainstream brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Honda and Hyundai, he has a precise understanding of the demands placed on modern leaders in the automotive sector. His degree in business administration, specialising in marketing, provides a solid foundation for his in-depth understanding of the industry.

A bridge-builder between small and medium-sized enterprises and the automotive industry

Through his long-standing collaboration with medium-sized suppliers, partners and agencies, Mr Hofmann has developed a deep understanding of the specific structures and challenges faced by medium-sized businesses. He understands the interfaces between SMEs and automotive groups from both perspectives and knows exactly which leadership skills are required to operate successfully in this demanding environment.

Proven in practice – at the very highest level

During his 15-year career in senior management at the BMW Group (2002–2017), he held precisely the key roles that are in particularly high demand today: strategy (product strategy for brands), brand positioning (BMW i), product development (BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce portfolios), communications (global and regional market launch and lifecycle campaigns) and sales (sales promotion measures to drive vehicle sales). He developed sustainable KPI systems for dealer development and managed complex international projects such as the MINI United Festival and the IAA – challenges that many companies face today.

As Vice President of Marketing, Product & PR at Hyundai Motor Europe (from 2017), he demonstrated his flair for forward-thinking strategies with the highly acclaimed „Your turn Elon“ campaign and the spectacular launch of the IONIQ 5 electric vehicle range, during which 3,000 limited-edition vehicles sold out in just 2 minutes. He has first-hand knowledge of the keys to success in digital transformation.

Your benefit: An active network of automotive and agency contacts, and proven recruitment expertise

What sets Andreas Hofmann apart is that he has personally overseen over 250 successful recruitment placements in the automotive industry and actively supported the further development of these candidates. He has an active network of precisely those executives and specialists in the automotive sector who will drive your company forward. His receipt of the Automotive News Europe Autostars Award 2021 demonstrates his ability to transform companies through targeted human resources management – from a price-focused provider to a technology leader.

Immediate solutions based on in-depth understanding of the automotive sector, the agency industry and small and medium-sized enterprises

His close collaboration with leading agencies in strategy, creative and media, as well as with medium-sized companies, has given him unique insights into the automotive industry. He immediately recognises which personalities and skill sets are required to meet the specific challenges arising from the interplay between medium-sized companies and automotive groups. Thanks to his international experience and strong interpersonal skills, he identifies not only the best professionals, but also those who are the best cultural fit for your medium-sized company and who can successfully navigate the structures of the corporate world.

The partner who speaks the language of the automotive industry and communications agencies

Andreas Hofmann is not a theoretical consultant, but a seasoned automotive insider who understands the challenges faced by companies from his own experience, has already successfully resolved them, and has the network to quickly fill the right leadership roles for you – not just to place candidates. He understands the dynamics between SMEs and large corporations and identifies the individuals who can operate successfully within this complex environment.

Andreas-Christoph Hofmann is a partner who takes your HR strategy in the automotive sector to a new level and is specially tailored to the needs of companies in the automotive industry.

Email: d.uzuner@senator-partners.de
Industry expertise: Games, Trade and services, Media
Functional competence: Human Resources

Ms Uzuner’s enthusiasm for new, rapidly growing and innovative developments in the media sector was further deepened by her studies in media management. The fascination with the deliberate management of information flows and the power of targeted communication not only extends across several generations but continues to grow to this day, evolving into a consumer-driven market with a wide range of potential.

Duygu Uzuner’s affinity for gaming has deliberately led her into the „gaming niche“, which has now become a market in its own right. The industry’s steady growth has been reflected in the evolution from arcade studios to metaverse technologies. This growth can only be further driven forward if the high demand for qualified staff can be met.

Ms Uzuner is keen to take on the challenge of working effectively and successfully in a goal-oriented manner here. Given her many years„ experience as a career coach and over a decade of leadership experience in the “retail and services’ sector, with a focus on HR management, this is a logical step. Her aim is not only to strengthen the retail sector but, above all, the gaming industry, and to successfully support companies in their recruitment efforts.

Ms Uzuner is also looking forward to the integration of the games industry into the cultural and creative sectors, as this will open up innovative, forward-looking and many exciting new opportunities.
