Labbé has assumed the role of President in the International Automobile Manufacturers Association.
Imelda Labbé, a seasoned professional with over three decades of experience in the automotive industry, has taken on the role of President at the Association of International Automakers (VDIK).
Labbé's career in the automotive sector spans an impressive 35 years. She has worked at Opel and General Motors for over 20 years before joining Škoda within the VW group in 2013. Her tenure at Škoda led to her position on the Volkswagen brand board in 2014, where she was responsible for sales, marketing, and after-sales areas until June of this year.
Prior to her role at Škoda, Labbé had a long and distinguished career at Opel and General Motors, holding leadership positions both domestically and internationally. Her extensive experience at these companies undoubtedly prepared her for the challenges and opportunities that come with leading an association like VDIK.
In her capacity at Volkswagen, Labbé emphasised the importance of transferring traditional Volkswagen qualities, such as top quality, workmanship, and digital services, to the evolving mobility sector. She has been a vocal advocate for the industry, frequently quoted as a spokeswoman or leader in automotive industry contexts.
The VDIK board welcomed Labbé as their new President, following André Schmidt who led the association since late August. Labbé's appointment marks a significant milestone for the association, as she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.
While the specifics of Labbé's career history before becoming the President of VDIK are not fully detailed in the available search results, her current position as a Member of the Brand Board of Management for Sales, Marketing, and Aftersales at Volkswagen indicates a significant leadership role within a major automotive company.
From 2014 to 2016, Labbé served as the CEO of Škoda Germany. It is during this time that she made significant contributions to the growth and success of the brand within the German market.
As the new President of VDIK, Labbé is poised to make a lasting impact on the automotive industry. Her leadership, experience, and commitment to the industry make her an ideal choice for this role. We look forward to seeing the strides she will make in her new position.
