About

As the first woman to head a Daimler brand, Automotive News Europe described Winkler's 2010 appointment as "a significant victory for women in a male-dominated industry".

In early 2018, Daimler announced Winkler retirement as the division's CEO at the end of September, 2018 after 23 years with the company. She was appointed as a member of the advisory board of Mercedes-Benz South Africa as of January 2019. She resigned from this position when she joined the Renault Board of Directors in order to avoid conflicts of interest.
