Mr. Gao will report directly to Chief Executive Ola Kallenius. He has worked in the auto sector for decades and was most recently a senior partner at McKinsey & Co in Hong Kong.

"A central part of Paul Gao's role will be to incorporate the specific requirements and insights of key Asian markets into strategic business decisions at Mercedes-Benz," the company said.
