Bosch

United States. The Bosch company announced that Mike Mansuetti, president of Bosch in North America, will retire on October 1, 2024, after moving into an advisory role on September 1, 2024.

On September 1, Paul Thomas assumed the role of President of Bosch North America, in addition to his current position as President of Bosch Mobility in the Americas.

"In his 12 years at the helm of the North American region, Mike Mansuetti has established a dynamic culture focused on high performance and cooperation in all business areas," commented Stefan Hartung, Chairman of the Board of Management of Robert Bosch GmbH. "We are confident that Paul Thomas will continue to build on this foundation as Bosch seeks to further accelerate its profitable and sustainable growth in North America."

During Mike Mansuetti's tenure as president, Bosch's third-party sales in North America increased by more than 55%, from $10.6 billion in 2012 to $16.5 billion in 2023. It prioritized regional growth around four key success factors: innovation, customer satisfaction, high-performance culture, and digital enablement.

He has more than 25 years of experience in mobility and has held executive leadership positions in sales, production control, logistics, manufacturing and business unit management.
