Jan-Maarten de Vries and Michiel Wesseling to lead Bridgestone Mobility Solutions business unit
Bridgestone has appointed Jan-Maarten de Vries and Michiel Wesseling as CEO and COO of its Bridgestone Mobility Solutions (BMS) business unit.
Thomas Schmidt, the co-founder of Webfleet, will be leaving Bridgestone and his role as CEO and managing director of the BMS business unit at the end of this year.
Schmidt led Webfleet Solutions – formerly known as TomTom Telematics – to become Europe’s leading telematics business. In early 2019, the business was acquired by Bridgestone.
Schmidt will be leaving Bridgestone to pursue a new venture: sharing his experience and inspiration with young entrepreneurs and start-ups.
