Sensata Technologies Holding named Stephan von Schuckmann as its next chief executive officer.
The change in leadership comes months after Martha Sullivan stepped in as interim CEO following the departure of Jeff Cote amid a cooperation deal with activist investor Elliott Investment Management.
Sensata, which manufactures sensors among other products, said von Schuckmann will also become a member of the board, with both role changes going into effect Jan. 1. He most recently served as a member of ZF Friedrichshafen's board of management, where he led the company's electric mobility division and oversaw the Asia Pacific region and global procurement operations.
"His extensive experience in the automotive and industrial sectors, including both conventional and electrified powertrains, gives us confidence that Sensata will execute strongly against the opportunities before us," said Chairman Andrew Teich.
Sullivan will act as a special advisor to von Schuckmann as part of the transition, added Teich.
