SIXT has announced the appointment of Yvonne Gabler as the new Managing Director for SIXT van & truck in the UK, effective from May 2025. Yvonne succeeds David Saint, who led the UK business with passion and commitment for almost four years.
With over a decade of experience in the automotive and mobility sector, Gabler brings a deep understanding of both B2B sales and commercial vehicle rental. She has relocated from Germany to Scotland to take on the new role and spearhead the next phase of growth for SIXT van & truck in the UK.
Dr. Peter Beermann, Executive Vice President SIXT van & truck commented: “Yvonne has a deep understanding of our business and a proven track record of driving growth through innovation and leadership. Her appointment marks an exciting step forward for SIXT van & truck in the UK. I’m confident she will lead the team to even greater success, and I’m personally happy to see such a strong female leader from within our own ranks take on this important role.”
Gabler began her career at SIXT Leasing in 2012 and has since progressed through a series of strategic leadership roles. In 2018, she transitioned from “SIXT Leasing” to “SIXT rent a car” division, leading the Special Sales Department, overseeing diverse B2B segments including luxury, movie production, van & truck, and replacement sales.
Her outstanding performance led to further promotion and most recently, in January 2023, Gabler took on a pivotal role focusing on van & truck B2B sales, helping to build and strengthen the international van and truck B2B sales organisation, leading teams dedicated to telesales, area sales, and key account management across the globe.
Now, in her new role, Gabler’s strategic focus will be on scaling the business, increasing brand awareness across the UK, and positioning SIXT van & truck as a bold and innovative force in the commercial vehicle rental sector.
“SIXT is already the most innovative player in the mobility market when considering hiring a car,” said Gabler. “We want to achieve the same level of brand recognition in the UK when hiring commercial vehicles. The goal is to grow and scale the business and to become a very competitive player in the commercial vehicle market.”
She added: “I am super delighted about having the chance to extend my responsibilities and to grow the already existing business with the experienced and highly motivated van & truck team here in the UK. The whole team has the ambition to grow and is ready to prove that SIXT has built a strong product and a compelling business proposition for the UK market.”
