Dr. Rupert Felder (48) will take over as Head of Global
Human Resources at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
(Heidelberg) as of February 1, 2012. Felder previously worked
for the Daimler Group, where he was responsible for a range
of strategic and operational tasks and held various
managerial positions in Human Resources (HR), most recently
as Head of HR at the Mannheim plant of Daimler Buses. In his
new role, Felder will serve as Head of HR for the Heidelberg
Group and will report directly to the Chief Executive
Officer.
"At Heidelberg, I am particularly looking forward to
taking on overall responsibility for Human Resources in a
leading company with the prospect of adopting a global
approach in a challenging market environment. The more
important is innovative HR work that contributes to the
company's success by optimizing processes, encouraging
employee advancement, and identifying and implementing
promising opportunities for the future," says
Felder.
Felder studied law at the University of Tübingen, gained a
PhD in labor law, and holds lectureships at the RheinMain
University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden and at the
Pforzheim Technical University. In 1991 he had started his
career in HR at the Rastatt plant of Mercedes-Benz AG.
Further posts eventually led him to the position of Head of
HR and Labor Law at EvoBus GmbH in Stuttgart. At Daimler AG
from September 2000, Felder worked at the interface between
IT and HR in the "ePeople" project, which focused
on the redesign of software-based HR processes. From 2003, as
Head of HR Processes, he was responsible for the
standardization and optimization of all corporate HR
processes at Daimler worldwide before switching back to the
operational HR business as Head of HR at the bus plant in
Mannheim.
Dr. Rupert Felder succeeds Klaus Hofer, who left the company
at the end of last year at his own request.
