During her tenure at BMW, Hagendorf developed and executed the marketing strategy for BMW’s North American flagship center, managing the positioning of BMW cars and motorcycles, as well as the launch of the MINI Cooper in New York. She began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where her team created PwC’s new global corporate identity following the company’s merger.
