Wilko Stark, 45 years old, has been with Daimler since 2012. He maintains open communication with his management team. He cites names such as Jochen Hermann, Oliver Wiech, Susanne Hahn, Stefan Abraham, Jörg Heinermann, Christoph Starzynski and he could name many more, professionals from development, sales, production, from all the areas of vehicle development, with the best connections in the entire Daimler organisation, and also a number of other colleagues who think “outside the box”, as the CASE manager says, going new ways.
