(Neu-Isenburg, February 27, 2018) One job, six countries – it takes the whole man. Someone like Christian Arnezeder. The Salzburg native not only drives Harley-Davidson , he has also worked for the US company since 1999. After initially being responsible for the market areas of Germany and Austria as managing director, Switzerland was added in 2008. The Managing Director of Regional Operations will now become the Managing Director of Central Europe, as Arnezeder's responsibility now also extends to Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
In his new role, the qualified engineer, industrial engineer and doctor of technical sciences will manage and monitor all of Harley-Davidson's operational activities in the six countries from Neu-Isenburg, Germany.
He works on the company's overall direction and strategic initiatives, is responsible for and evaluates procedures and systems in the individual countries and implements changes if necessary. The 54-year-old reports to Marc McAllister, Harley-Davidson Vice President and Managing Director International Markets. “The Doc,” as his colleagues call him, spends his little free time with his family as often as possible. His two “children” – son Florian was born in 1989 and daughter Carolina in 1991 – are his pride and joy. He stays fit by jogging and shares a passion for Italy with his wife Daniela. And of course Arnezeder is passionate about riding motorcycles . He currently has a Softail Cross Bones, a Road Glide , a Softail Slim S and a Deluxe parked in his garage. If you want to get to know the biker and manager, you can meet him at one of the many Harley-Davidson and HOG events up and down the country. Simply speaking to him is no problem, because, as befits a Harley employee, Arnezeder is always open to the questions, requests and constructive criticism of V-Twin fans.
