Career

Margret Suckale grew up in Hamburg, Hanover and Bremen , where she also passed the Abitur. She then studied law at the University of Hamburg . She later earned an MBA from WHU and Northwestern University as well as an Executive Master of European and International Business Law from the University of St. Gallen .

Originally she wanted to be a judge . In 1985, however, she started at Mobil Oil AG in Hamburg, where she was responsible for labor law, collective bargaining policy and fundamental issues. She went to Vienna as Personnel Director at Mobil Oil Austria AG , was responsible for personnel in the Northern and Eastern European countries in the Mobil Oil Nordic Office in Copenhagen and also worked at the European headquarters in London .

In 1997 she went to Deutsche Bahn as head of the legal department. From 2004 she was also head of the central staff. As part of a new corporate structure, she was appointed to the Board of Management on March 17, 2005 to take over the HR department headed by Norbert Bensel since 2002 . In this role, she became known to a broad public as the rail's negotiator in tough collective bargaining. For a long time, Suckale was the only woman among the approximately 550 members of the executive board of the hundred highest-grossing German companies. As part of a new corporate structure prior to a planned partial privatization, Suckale moved to the newly founded DB Mobility Logistics AG in June 2008 as Chief Human Resources Officer. Your current role as Human Resources Director of DB AG took over as Director of Labor Relations of the former union boss Norbert Hansen .

The remuneration of the executive board of Suckales in the 2007 financial year was 1.47 million euros, of which 400,000 euros were fixed and 1.05 million euros variable. In 2006 it was 1.716 million euros, of which 400,000 euros were a fixed salary and 1.29 million euros were a variable salary.

In 2009 the data affair of the Deutsche Bahn came to the public, in which Suckale was involved according to media reports according to the special investigators. However, the investigation report was not published. The railway management itself insists on their innocence, supported by the chairman of the railway supervisory board Werner Müller .

On July 1, 2009, Suckale joined BASF as head of the “Global Human Resources” central unit. According to her own statements, she had planned the change for a long time, regardless of the allegations raised in the course of the data affair . On May 6, 2011, Suckale was appointed to the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE as Labor Director. She was the first woman on the board in the company's 150-year history. Most recently, she was responsible for the functions of personnel, maintenance, environmental protection and safety and was also responsible for the Ludwigshafen site and for the management of the Verbund sites in Europe. At the end of the Annual General Meeting in May 2017, she left BASF. Since then she has held supervisory board mandates in various German companies.
