??Two days ago, we said goodbye to Quincy Jones, a visionary whose influence stretches far beyond music into the hearts of everyone he touched. Quincy was more than an icon - he was a mentor, an inspiration and a dear friend of the Maybach Foundation. ??Quincy Jones was a creative giant whose impact spanned music, film, and television, with 28 Grammy Awards and iconic works like Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Frank Sinatra. He broke barriers as the first Black executive at a major record label and produced groundbreaking projects, from The Color Purple to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. ??Quincy first joined us in 2007 at our Maybach Foundation Mentoring Luncheon in Cannes – supported by the Maybach Brand. When Uli Maybach asked him to speak about the importance of mentorship, he didn’t hesitate. For Quincy, mentorship was personal - he credited his own mentors, like Count Basie and Clark Terry, with shaping his path. "If you can see it, you can be it," he told us. ??His commitment to lifting others up was recognized when Harvard named him their first-ever Mentor of the Year, a testament to the impact he had on so many lives. He believed deeply that one person’s success could open doors for others. His legacy of mentorship continues to resonate deeply with our mission and his friendship has been a cherished gift. ???Today, we continue to honor Quincy’s memory. The Maybach Foundation is eternally grateful to have shared a part of our journey with this extraordinary individual. Rest in peace, Quincy.

Today, on what would have been her 101st birthday, we honor the remarkable life and achievements of Irmgard Schmid-Maybach, born on October 16, 1923, in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Irmgard made a lasting impact on the evolution of MTU Friedrichshafen (now Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH). As a dedicated Supervisory Board member for over two decades and later an honorary life Board member, she helped shape the company’s future, all while staying true to her family’s pioneering spirit and values. In a time when women were rarely seen in boardrooms, Irmgard carved a path for herself through intelligence, empathy and a genuine passion for her work. Her presence on the board helped challenge expectations and paved the way for other women to envision roles beyond traditional boundaries. Even after moving to San Francisco in the 1950s, she stayed closely tied to her roots, regularly visiting Friedrichshafen. She believed in honoring her heritage, which inspired her to establish the Wilhelm-Maybach-Award, and later, the Karl-Maybach-Award. In 2000, she was honored with the Medal of Honor of the City of Friedrichshafen for her achievements. Today, we remember Irmgard Schmid-Maybach not just for her accomplishments but also for her warmth and unwavering dedication to her family’s legacy and the Maybach values: She remains a source of inspiration, especially for women in industries where she continues to stand out as a trailblazer. - Heute, an jenem Tag, an dem Irmgard Schmid-Maybach 101 Jahre alt geworden w?re, erinnern wir uns an ihr bemerkenswertes Leben und ihre Errungenschaften. Geboren am 16. Oktober 1923 in Friedrichshafen, hat Irmgard die Entwicklung der MTU Friedrichshafen (heute Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH) nachhaltig gepr?gt. Als langj?hriges Mitglied im Aufsichtsrat und sp?ter als Ehrenmitglied, hat sie die Zukunft des Unternehmens mitgestaltet und dabei stets den Pioniergeist und die Werte ihrer Familie bewahrt. In einer Zeit, in der Frauen selten in Führungsetagen zu finden waren, bahnte sich Irmgard ihren eigenen Weg mit viel Intelligenz, Einfühlungsverm?gen und einer echten Leidenschaft für ihre Arbeit und die Maybach-Werte. Ihr Engagement im Aufsichtsrat stellte bisheriges Gedankengut infrage und ermutigte andere Frauen, sich Rollen au?erhalb der traditionellen Grenzen vorzustellen. Auch nachdem sie in den 1950er Jahren nach San Francisco gezogen war, blieb sie ihrer Heimat stets verbunden. Sie besuchte Friedrichshafen regelm??ig und pflegte gern den Kontakt zu ihrer Heimatstadt. Die Verbundenheit mit ihren Wurzeln führte sie dazu, den Wilhelm-Maybach-Preis und sp?ter auch den Karl-Maybach-Preis ins Leben zu rufen. Im Jahr 2000 wurde sie für ihre Leistungen mit der Ehrenmedaille der Stadt Friedrichshafen ausgezeichnet. Heute denken wir an Irmgard Schmid-Maybach. Wir denken an ihre tiefe Verbundenheit mit der Tradition ihrer Familie. Sie ist bis heute eine Inspiration für Viele, insbesondere für Frauen, die ihren eigenen Weg gehen wollen.
