Thorsten Runge

It was my pleasure working with Christine in the past 2.5 years at Veoneer. She has provided great leadership to me and my team by giving guidance and leaving the space for us to manage things with our teams. Yet, she was always available when her support was needed and is capable of deep diving into important topics where details matter. I very much appreciate this style of senior management. This was the basis for successfully developing the corporate control function of Veoneer in Europe despite the challenging situation the company faced and organizational changes as well as a change of the entire system landscape added to the fun. Thank you for your support and all the best to your future. Looking forward to hear, see and maybe work with you again. Kind regards, Thorsten
