Volvo CE appoints Thorsten Poszwa as Global Director, External Communications

This appointment comes almost exactly 10 years to the day since Poszwa joined Volvo CE’s German sales organization.

In his most recent role Poszwa has been manager of marketing and communications for Volvo Construction Equipment Germany, GmbH, based in the Bavarian town of Ismaning, near Munich. 

“After a decade promoting Volvo CE’s products and services in Europe’s largest market, now is a thrilling time to take on a more global role,” commented Poszwa. “With the Volvo CE brands more respected than ever before I am excited and proud at the prospect of continuing the longstanding and successful two-way dialogue with our customers, via a range of traditional and new media channels. It will be my job to continue Volvo CE’s role as a thought leader in the industry and effectively communicate both Volvo’s technical innovations and its core values of Quality, Safety and Environmental Care.”

Poszwa, 46, is a keen reader of fiction, traveler and opera fan. He holds both a business degree from the University of Sciences & Arts in Dortmund, Germany and is currently finalizing an MBA from the prestigious Berlin University for Professional Studies, with a particular focus on marketing and leadership. Poszwa will take up his new position on May 1^st. He will be based in Brussels, Belgium, where he will relocate.
