Volkswagen Group Korea said Thursday it will appoint Michael Ant as president of its Volkswagen brand unit, effective April 1.

Till Scheer, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group Korea, has overseen the Volkswagen brand in addition to his broader duties since February 2024, working to strengthen core business capabilities and improve organizational efficiency, the company said.

Building on that foundation, Ant will take overall responsibility for Volkswagen brand operations, maintaining continuity in strategic direction while focusing on strengthening brand execution. Under the group’s operating structure in South Korea, he will report directly to Scheer.

Ant joined the Volkswagen Group in 1998 and has held key posts in major markets including Germany and China, working across brands such as Volkswagen, Skoda and Audi. The company said his broad experience is expected to support the Volkswagen brand’s growth in the South Korean market.

Volkswagen Group Korea said the appointment reflects its continued commitment to the South Korean market and its intent to boost operating efficiency and competitiveness through closer cooperation among its brands.
