HEAD OF FUTURE MOBILITY TEAM BMW GROUP
NOT contented with a degree in automotive engineering from Munich University of Applied Sciences, Dr Maik Böres chose to undertake a doctorate thesis in hybrid technologies and associated combinatorics in motor vehicles at the University of Lugano, Switzerland.
After earning the right to be called a doctor, and armed with knowledge of the future in motoring, he joined BMW in 2004. Four years later, he became the Manager of Corporate Strategy, assessing global CO2 and fuel consumption regulations, setting CO2 targets and monitoring compliance. In 2015, he was appointed the team leader of BMW Group’s newly established Future Mobility Team.
The “39-year-young” (he says with a chuckle) Dr Böres is married with a four-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son. The fit-looking German (who hits the gym on his business trips) has many hobbies, but he regrets not having much time to indulge in all of them. So he chose to stick with cycling.
He rides a full-carbon Cannondale Synapse with Shimano’s state-of-the-art Dura-Ace Di2 electronic groupset, due to his love for anything in relation to electric mobility.
