Buerkle Hyundai, serving drivers in the St. Paul, MN area, we would like to say congratulations to John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai North America for being named 2013 Automotive Executive of the Year.
This prominent honor has awarded every year by DNV Business Assurance since 1964 to an individual that has displayed strong leadership in the automotive industry. Mr. Krafcik became a part of the Hyundai brand back in 2004 as the Vice President of Product Development before stepping into the role of Chief Executive in 2008. During his stints in these roles, he has been recognized for his significant involvement in product developments and the increase in the popularity of new Hyundai models.
>"It the confluence of leadership, teamwork, and great product that consistently gives Hyundai accolade after accolade," says DNV Business Assurance's director of automotive services of North America and executive director of the 2013 Automotive Executive of the Year Award program, Robert Djurovic. "When the industry is busy moving to the left, he takes a look there, but will more intently look at the opportunities on the right. His leadership created a dream team whose corporate mantra is defy, design, and delight,"1
