This included the vehicle configurator, the group's most important lead application. The task involved managing broad software application teams and large development budgets across multiple applications and markets.
Previously, Jan Schreiter was Lead Product Manager for the EQA and EQB series at Mercedes-Benz AG, the highest-volume electric vehicles in the portfolio at the time. He guided both products from the strategy phase to the design freeze and was responsible for aligning product and sales specifications across markets. Prior to that, he completed a management trainee program in electromobility product management with international rotations, including in the United States.

Professional position
"We are building HEERO as an AI-native company. Not as a buzzword, but as an operating model: for us, AI is not a tool in one department, but the prerequisite for a small team to compete against corporate structures. Whatever can be automated will be automated. What requires judgment is done by humans."
– Jan Schreiter, Chief Revenue Officer & AI Lead, HEERO Motors
"In fleet operations, reliability is the real currency. A vehicle that is stationary does not have a TCO, but a loss. That is why we talk to fleet managers about operation profiles and availability before we talk about data sheets."
– Jan Schreiter, Chief Revenue Officer & AI Lead, HEERO Motors
