Stark Takes Over as Chairman of the Executive Board of  Lufthansa Technik


As of July 1, 2022, Sören Stark has taken over as chairman of the executive board of Lufthansa Technik from Dr. Johannes Bussmann who leaves the Lufthansa Group at his own request after 23 years.

At the same time, Harald Gloy has succeeded Stark as the company’s chief operations officer. Gloy thus bears responsibility as accountable manager in accordance with EASA Part 145 and is the contact person for aviation authorities with regard to Lufthansa Technik AG’s MRO operations.

Dr. William Willms continues to serve as chief financial officer in the three-member executive board team. Stark joined Lufthansa Technik’s executive board in 2019. Previously, he was responsible in the executive board for Operations at Lufthansa Cargo for three years. He began his career at Lufthansa Technik in 2004 as managing director of Lufthansa Technik Logistik in Hamburg. From 2011 to 2016, the industrial engineer was in charge of Lufthansa Technik’s aircraft overhaul division.

With immediate effect, Harald Gloy will also head the executive board department human resources as chief human resources officer (CHRO) and labor director, which was previously part of the area of 
responsibility of Bussmann. Gloy was most recently labor director and a member of the executive board of Lufthansa Cargo being responsible for operations. Prior to that, the engineering graduate 
held various management positions at Lufthansa Technik.
