Dr Elke Eller takes over from Sebastian Ebel as HR/Labour
Director
-- Extensive trade union and industrial relations experience
-- TUI Group Supervisory Board decides to establish HR/Labour
Director as an independent function
Hanover/Berlin, 31 July 2015. The TUI Group Supervisory Board
has appointed Dr Elke Eller (52) to the Executive Board as the TUI
Group's HR/Labour Director.
Dr Eller previously held board-level HR functions at Volkswagen
AG, initially at Volkswagen Financial Services, from 2007 onwards.
In 2012 she was appointed to the Management Board of Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles with responsibility for HR. Dr Elke Eller is
married with two children. She is taking over Sebastian Ebel's
HR/Labour Director function, which he had temporarily assumed after
the merger of TUI AG and TUI Travel Plc in addition to his
operational responsibilities on the Group Executive Committee. Dr
Eller commences work in this new function on 15 October 2015.
Dr Elke Eller began her career at the Friedrich-Ebert
Foundation's Research Institute in Bonn, followed by management
functions at the Public Services and Transport Union (ÖTV) and
board-level positions at the IG Metall trade union, the Otto
Brenner Foundation and the Hans Böckler Foundation. During these
years she gained valuable experience in various supervisory board
functions at ThyssenKrupp, Volkswagen and other companies.
Between 1982 and 1989 Dr Eller studied economics at the Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe University in Frankfurt/Main, graduating with a
master's degree in economics in 1989. In 2009 she commenced a
post-graduate programme at the University of Paderborn and was
awarded a doctorate in political science in 2013.
Dr Elke Eller is a member of the supervisory board of Nord/LB, a
lecturer at the Technical University of Brunswick and President of
the BPM, the German Association of HR Managers.
Professor Klaus Mangold, Chairman of the TUI AG Supervisory
Board: "Dr Elke Eller will be contributing her extensive industrial
and trade union relations experience to her new function as
HR/Labour Director at TUI. The establishment of this independent
function underlines the significance accorded by the TUI Group to
modern HR management, as well as personnel and talent development.
One of the key challenges facing us after the successful merger of
TUI AG and TUI Travel PLC is the establishment of a strong, shared
corporate culture. I am confident that, both as a member of the
Executive Board and in collaboration with the management and staff,
Dr Eller will make a valuable contribution to the consolidation of
the TUI Group corporate culture and help us to evolve into one of
the most attractive international employers."
