Manja Greimeier has been appointed as the new head of the original equipment business area for Continental’s tires group sector, effective August 1. She will be tasked with the company’s global OE business for passenger and commercial vehicles.
David O’Donnell – who previously held the position – is now responsible for the global research and development activities for the manufacturer’s passenger car tire replacement business.
Greimeier brings to the position 20 years of automotive industry experience. Since joining Continental in 2017, she has held positions within the automotive group sector heading sales and customer project management for ADAS.

Greimeier will report directly to Christian Kötz, head of tires for Continental.
“We are delighted to have gained a highly experienced manager with Manja Greimeier.
