Juergen Maier said: I would like to pay tribute to Toby Peyton-Jones for his major contribution to steering the development of Siemens over many years. In moving on from his role as HR Director he will continue to represent Siemens externally in the crucial field of “Skills, Education and the Future of Work” a topic area where he is already a well-established national voice.”
