Lothar Herrmann shapes Siemens' efforts to help Chinese firms evolve in high-tech

Lothar Herrmann, president and CEO of Siemens China, first came to Beijing as the company's executive in the 1990s. At that time, he knew the road ahead would be challenging, yet full of possibilities.

In 1995 alone, the German conglomerate established as many as 13 operating companies across China. Herrmann was personally involved in the early phase, which laid a strong foundation for Siemens' subsequent success in China.
