Gorden Wagener is leaving Mercedes-Benz in another design shake-up at a premium auto manufacturer. From 2016, Wagener was the brand’s all-encompassing chief design officer, overseeing the company’s expansion into non-automotive sectors, including speedboats, aviation and even architecture, as well as the stuttering segue into electrification. He ramped up creative collaborations, especially in the worlds of art and fashion, to reposition the three-pointed star as a more youthful, diverse and dynamic brand.
