Manfred Bischoff
Manfred Bischoff (born 22 April 1942) is a German businessman who has been the chairman of the supervisory boards of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz.
Early life[edit]
Bischoff was born on 22 April 1942 in Calw, Germany.[1] He earned a degree in Economics, and a PhD from Heidelberg University in 1973.[1]
Career[edit]
From 2000 until 2007, Bischoff was chairman of EADS.[2]
He was a member of the Daimler supervisory board since 2006, and its chairman from 2007[3][4] to 2015. Upon retirement, he was largely credited with the creation of Airbus and EADS by Airbus chairman Denis Ranque.[5]
