With over 20 years of automotive experience, Dirk has become a recognised industry subject-matter-expert in Hybrid & EV technology. The reason Dirk founded Electric Mobility Consulting LLC is a reaction to the high demand for in depth technical information from the industry.

In his previous role as Director of Technical Programs & Services at I-CAR (Inter-industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair,) Dirk has been a featured speaker and panelist at automotive industry events and has been active in supporting automotive-related associations surrounding national and state legislative activities.

His passion for the automotive industry began in 2002 as a Technical Training specialist/instructor for Volkswagen Germany.

Recruited by ZF Services, Germany, a global technology and supplies system provider offering comprehensive automated driving and electric mobility solutions for manufacturers and newly emerging transport and mobility service providers, Dirk’s responsibilities over the next 13 years included international technical service and sales training management.

While serving as North American Training Manager, ZF Services, Dirk was hired by I-CAR in late 2020 to serve as Director, Technical Programs & Services.
