'With Clarissa Haller, we're very pleased to have gained an outstanding, internationally oriented expert. As one of Europe's most distinguished communicators and with extensive industry knowhow, she's everything we at Siemens could ask for in a communications head. We're all looking forward to collaborating with her,' said Joe Kaeser.

Haller's most important responsibilities will include the innovation of company communications, the further driving of the digitalization of communications channels and processes, and the further development of marketing and branding.

The unit Government Affairs, which is responsible for managing Siemens' relations with governments and government authorities, will be integrated into the department Governance & Markets, effective June 1, 2016. Government Affairs will be headed by Dr. Udo Niehage on an acting basis.

'Early engagement with regulatory topics and so-called government-to-government business are of growing importance for the successful implementation of our company strategy. Siemens is taking account of this development and will intensively align its activities accordingly,' emphasized Joe Kaeser.
