Toronto, Ontario – Eva Wiese has been named president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada, making her the first female ever to hold the position, effective Feb. 1.
Daimler AG announced on Monday in a press release, solidifying Wiese as the successor to Dimitris Psillakis, who in October was announced to be taking over as head of marketing and sales for Mercedes-Benz cars North America and CEO of MBUSA, effective January 1, 2021.
“We are thrilled to welcome Eva to this important leadership role. Eva’s extensive experience in multiple markets and across a variety of business areas will be critical to delivering on the six strategic pillars that will help further grow Mercedes-Benz’s position in the Canadian market,” said Psillakis.
