According to MBM, Trimmel had expertly guided the Mercedes-Benz Vans business operations in South Africa, driving it to success through numerous strategic initiatives, product advancements, and process optimisations. Notably, she also spearheaded the transition of the first market, South Africa, to the Retail of the Future model with private vans in 2018.
“It is an exciting time to be at the forefront of change with the recent implementation of our new sales operating model, Retail of the Future. I am confident that together, we will establish new standards of success for Mercedes-Benz in the region,” added Trimmel further in her statement.
