Todd Hertzler, Regional President, Bosch Mobility Aftermarket

What does leadership look like in today's rapidly evolving mobility industry? Todd Hertzler, newly appointed Regional President of Bosch Mobility Aftermarket, brings a refreshingly balanced perspective shaped by 19 years at Bosch and significant international experience. In this candid conversation, Hertzler reveals how his four years working in Germany transformed his understanding of work-life balance. "My boss told me, 'You want to impress me? Get your job done in 40 hours,'" he recalls, highlighting the stark contrast with American hustle culture. This experience helped shape his leadership approach—one that values efficiency over endless hours and psychological safety over relentless pressure. As Bosch North America enters an ambitious growth phase, Hertzler explains how the company balances innovation with tradition. While investing heavily in emerging technologies like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and electric vehicles, they remain firmly committed to supporting the existing vehicle fleet. "We need to be ready with solutions for the technology on the road today," he emphasizes, describing Bosch as proudly "powertrain agnostic." Perhaps most compelling is Hertzler's leadership philosophy that breaks traditional dichotomies. "You can be successful, ambitious, and lead with empathy," he insists. His approach includes transforming performance reviews to focus on amplifying strengths rather than fixating on weaknesses—a significant departure from conventional corporate thinking that reflects a broader cultural shift toward recognizing individual uniqueness. Whether discussing the challenges of staying present in a hyperconnected world or the importance of raising your hand with ideas (even imperfect ones), Hertzler offers actionable insights for leaders at all levels. His perspective demonstrates how blending American ambition with European work-life wisdom creates a more sustainable and human-centered approach to business leadership.
