“Professor Kuhn has had an inspiring, high level career, working with Mercedes-Benz since 1995.

“Prior to his current role, he designed and led the central operational quality support for all foreign plants producing Mercedes-Benz passenger cars for more than a decade.

“He is a prolific academic scholar, as well as a practice-based speaker, with his first degree in Business and Management from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and his doctorate is from the Technical University of Ilmenau. Earlier this year he was appointed as a Visiting Professor of Leeds Business School, here at Leeds Beckett.”
