Oliver Blume: Libero in Wolfsburg

During his playing days as an amateur footballer at district level, Oliver Blume preferred to play Libero. The last man before the goalie has played out as a role in modern football. But the overview and the task of introducing the strategic moves in the game like Franz Beckenbauer once did are also good for a CEO. From September 1st at the latest, the 54-year-old from Braunschweig will be playing in a different league: he will succeed Herbert Diess as head of the VW Group.
