Commenting on Schiendorfer's appointment, Sieder said: "Michael Schiendorfer brings a wealth of experience from many different sectors to ABB, and he will play a crucial role in communicating the progress of our Next Level strategy and positioning ABB as the leader in power and automation globally." Schiendorfer succeeds Thomas Schmidt, who is stepping down as ABB's Group head of media relations after 15 years in the role to concentrate on his position as Group head of Public Affairs. Schmidt will also take on additional responsibility as Head of Communications for ABB's Europe region and will join the region's management team. "I would like to thank Thomas Schmidt for his excellent contributions during a period that included the company's crisis years and successful turnaround," Sieder said. "We are delighted that he will bring his considerable experience to bear in strengthening ABB's voice among political decision-makers and other stakeholders as they define the future landscape for power and automation."
