BERLIN Daimler Truck on Monday said that management board chairman Martin Daum would take over as chief financial officer on an interim basis after the sudden death of Jochen Goetz.

The company added that the search for a new CFO had been initiated by the supervisory board.

Daimler Truck had announced earlier this month that Goetz died suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 52.
