Volocopter recently signed a funding round of USD 170 million and is positioned to launch UAM services in time for the 2024 Paris Olympics
Dirk Hoke, former CEO of Airbus Defence & Space, has been appointed the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Volocopter, starting September 2022. He will follow Florian Reuter, who has led Volocopter from a five-person start-up to a 500-strong global company.
Hoke brings extensive experience in leading big tech entities within Airbus and Siemens from a technical, strategic, and commercial side. His track record in transformation and digitalization made him the candidate of choice. Volocopter makes the dream of electric flight in cities come true and aims to be the first Urban Air Mobility (UAM) developer to go to market.
Reuter will leave Volocopter upon his own wishes after a successful handover period to Dirk Hoke has been completed.
