Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking (August 28, 1952 in Ahlen, Germany) is (since 1991) member of the executive committee, (since 1992) the executive committee speaker, and (since 1993) the CEO of Porsche AG. In addition he is (since January 28, 2006) member in the supervisory board of Volkswagen and the president of Porsche.

The German business publication 'manager magazin' lists him as the best paid executive in Europe, citing his annual salary in 2007 as having been 72,600,000 Euro.
