Goetz spent his entire professional career, spanning more than 36 years, in the Daimler Group, and was largely responsible for the successful spin-off of Daimler Truck Holding from what is now the Mercedes-Benz Group (MBGn.DE) in December 2021.
"He played a key role in shaping today's Daimler Truck company and, as CFO, consistently worked to ensure that the company is now more economically successful than ever before," Chief Executive Martin Daum said.
The company statement said Goetz had been distinguished by "his high level of professionalism as well as his positive, hands-on manner".
