Life

Arno Bohn attended the commercial high school in Lörrach and began his professional career in 1968 as a sales assistant and programmer at Nixdorf Computer AG in the Munich branch. At the age of 31, Bohn was appointed to the board of Nixdorf AG, where he was responsible for sales. In May 1989, he left Nixdorf as deputy chairman of the board. In January 1990 he became a member of the Executive Board of Porsche AG and in March of the same year he was appointed CEO as successor to Heinz Branitzki .

In September 1992 Porsche AG parted with Arno Bohn, whose contract had been extended by three years in the spring of 1992. The main reasons were the development costs of the four-door Porsche 989 , a conflict with Ferdinand Piëch , a member of the Porsche supervisory board and then CEO of Audi AG , and the sharp decline in vehicle sales. Wendelin Wiedeking became his successor at Porsche .

From the end of 1992 Bohn was Managing Director of GE Medical Systems at General Electric in Buc near Paris and later became President of General Electric Germany and Vice President of General Electric Company USA. Since 1999 he has been working as an independent management consultant. From 2000 to January 2003, Bohn was a member of the supervisory board of Wallstreet: Online AG. Bohn is also a member of the board of trustees of the Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques of the Fraunhofer Society in Freiburg.
