Porsche has announced its intention to hire Sajjad Khan, former Mercedes-Benz chief technical officer, to represent its IT division on its executive board.
The firm is yet to confirm the appointment – or indeed a start date – but said Khan “could begin his duties as soon as he is available to do so” in an official statement, suggesting discussions are well advanced.
German publication Handelsblatt has reported that Khan’s appointment is imminent but that it hinges on Mercedes allowing the move under non-competitive measures agreed as part of Khan’s 2021 departure.
