Gerrit Huy (born 13 May 1953) is a former German Top-Manager and now right-wing politician of AfD. Huy is member of the Bundestag since 2021, the federal diet.

Life and politics

Huy was born 1953 in the West German city of Braunschweig.

She studied at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University on a scholarship. During a discussion there, she caught the eye of Edzard Reuter, who made her his personal assistant in 1986 and thus brought her into the Daimler Group. In 1997 for 11 months, Huy was the first female member of the board of directors of the Daimler group.[1]

In 2017, Huy joined the AfD. The reason she gives is that the refugee policy of the federal government at the time was too liberal for her, which is why she decided to join the AfD.[2]

She was elected to the Bundestag in 2021.[3]
