Ilka Horstmeier

Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for People and Places. Labour Relations Director | Membre du directoire de BMW AG, responsable de Personnes et Lieux. Directrice des relations de travail

After graduating with a degree in business administration, Ilka Horstmeier joined the BMW Group in 1995 as a trainee and section manager in Human Resources and Organisational Development. She then moved into production, where she held a range of management roles. In 2013 she took over as head of Production and Planning, Engines and E-drives, followed in 2018 as managing director of BMW Group Plant Dingolfing.

 

In 2019, she was appointed Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, where she is now in charge of People and Places. With this role, she is responsible for almost 155,000 employees, every real estate, and all construction projects of the BMW Group on five continents. During her career, she has headed up numerous transformation projects. Therefore, Ilka knows that “when it comes to the transformation, it’s our employees that make the difference”.

 

But responsibility goes far beyond the boundaries of the BMW Group. Ilka firmly believes that: “As a member of society we as a company bear a unique responsibility for strengthening social cohesion. So, we work on solutions to combine economic success with sustainability and social responsibility.”

 

 

Après avoir obtenu son diplôme en gestion d'entreprise, Ilka Horstmeier a rejoint le groupe BMW en 1995 en tant que stagiaire et chef de service des ressources humaines et du développement organisationnel. Elle a ensuite évolué vers la production, où elle a occupé divers postes de direction. En 2013, elle a pris la direction de la production et de la planification, des moteurs et des entraînements électriques, puis en 2018, celle de directrice générale de l'usine BMW Group de Dingolfing.

 

En 2019, elle a été nommée membre du directoire de BMW AG, où elle est désormais responsable de Personnes et Lieux. Dans ce rôle, elle est responsable de près de 155 000 employés, de tous les biens immobiliers et de tous
les projets de construction du groupe BMW sur les cinq continents. Au cours de sa carrière, elle a dirigé de nombreux projets de transformation. C'est pourquoi Ilka sait que « lorsqu'il s'agit de transformation, ce sont nos employés qui font la différence. »

 

Mais la responsabilité va bien au-delà des frontières du groupe BMW. Ilka est convaincue que « en tant que membre de la société, nous avons en tant qu’entreprise une responsabilité unique dans le renforcement de la cohésion sociale.
C’est pourquoi nous travaillons à des solutions qui permettent de combiner réussite économique, durabilité et responsabilité sociale. »
