Kroeger was responsible for a large part of the Bosch electronics business, with the Cross Domain Computing Solutions, Chassis Systems Control, Automotive Electronics, Bosch eBike Systems, and Automotive Steering divisions, as well as the Two Wheeler & Powersports business unit.

“Harald Kroeger was the driving force behind many developments of future importance, such as the setup of the pioneering Cross-Domain Computing Solutions division and the expansion of our semiconductor business. He set a successful course for the business operations for which he was responsible, even in challenging market conditions,” said Volkmar Denner, retiring chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH and a limited partner of Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand as well as CTO and CEO of Bosch Healthcare.
“We regret Harald Kroeger’s decision and wish him all the very best for the future.
