ANSWER: Hans Dieter Poetsch
Volkswagen has elected CFO Hans Dieter Poetsch as the chairman of its board of directors in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. The announcement was made during the meeting at the company’s plant in Wolfsburg, Germany and he retained the backing of major shareholders who have the lion’s share of voting through a holding company. Frank Witter will replace him as CFO, a post he retained since 2003.
