  "account": "Wolfsburg - Erika Rasch has been appointed as Volkswagen's new Chief People Officer, the company announced. Rasch is set to join the board of the conglomerate on October 1, 2026. She will be moving from her role at Robert Bosch, where she was responsible for personnel management. The position of Chief People Officer at Volkswagen had remained vacant since Gunnar Kilian stepped down in July 2025. At that time, the corporation unexpectedly severed ties with Kilian, who had played a significant role in the massive job cuts during his tenure. In her new role, Rasch will directly oversee a similar task. In a statement, VW announced plans to eliminate up to 50,000 positions in the coming years as part of their transformation program. This adjustment in global workforce capacity was deemed necessary to achieve the program's objectives.",
