Berend Wegner called me last week to inform me about his new assignment.
He will leave his function at the head of lighting engineering at VW, at the end of June 2010. Dr Koether, head of front lighting applications will replace him.
In his new assignment, Berend will have the opportunity to take the responsibility of supporting the development of the B family (Golf) complete car, feasibility, design, all skills in relation with all the functions of the car.
Berend will leave lighting. It is a very good news for him, taking new challenges and all of us are happy. But it is also a bad news for lighting community which loses an expert with more than 9 years’ experience in lighting.
I propose to the people who knew Berend, who worked with him, to send me a few words of their feedback on Berend. I would like to publish a paper summarising these 9 years spent in lighting and the achieved realisations.
Good luck, Berend! Do not miss the next newsletters to know the feedback of your friends.
