The DaimlerChrysler Board of Management has appointed Ernst Lieb (51) as the new President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, effective September 1, 2006. Lieb succeeds Paul Halata (55) who is retiring after 33 years of service with the DaimlerChrysler organization. Lieb, currently President and CEO of DaimlerChrysler Australia/Pacific Pty. Ltd., will report to Dr. Klaus Maier, Executive Vice President Mercedes Car Group, responsible for Sales and Marketing. In his new role, Lieb will have overall responsibility for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and Maybach in the U.S. He will lead MBUSA’s nearly 1,600 employees and 330 retailers throughout the U.S.

Ernst Lieb began his career with DaimlerChrysler as an apprentice in 1978 in the former Daimler-Benz organization and became a spare parts specialist the same year. In 1985, he joined Mercedes-Benz Canada where he held various positions culminating in his promotion to President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada in 1995. Under his leadership, sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars in Canada more than doubled. In April 2003, German-born Lieb became President and CEO of DaimlerChrysler Australia/Pacific Pty.
