From 1992 to 1996, he was a member of the Executive Board of VEBA-AG (now E.ON) in Düsseldorf as Chief Financial Officer. From 1996 to 1999, he was a member of the Board of Management of Daimler Chrysler AG in Stuttgart, where he was specifically responsible for the commercial vehicles division.

Until July 2000, he was a lecturer at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. In the same year he was elected president of the Economic Council of the CDU.
