Mindt named Bentley design boss

Bentley Motors has appointed Andreas Mindt as director of design. He will succeed Stefan Sielaff on 1 March.

Mindt will report to Dr Matthias Rabe, Bentley’s board member for engineering.

Rabe said: “I am pleased to welcome Andreas to Bentley and look forward to working closely with him at such a critical, yet exciting time for the business. The hard work starts now as we accelerate our journey to full electrification by 2030.”

Mindt, who will lead a team of approximately 50 design experts with responsibility for the exterior, interior and colour and trim design for the full current and future Bentley product portfolio, said: “Bentley is a jewel within the Volkswagen Group. Designing a car, and a future, is always a process based on the performance of many, not one, and so I look forward to working with my colleagues to help define the next phase for Bentley, into an electrified future.”
