Alexander Everke hands over ams OSRAM CEO position to Aldo Kamper
Premstaetten, Austria and Munich, Germany (30 January 2023) — ams OSRAM
(SIX: AMS), a global leader in optical solutions, announces that Alexander
Everke will step down as CEO of ams OSRAM after seven successful years at
the helm of the company. He will be succeeded by Aldo Kamper whom the
Supervisory Board of ams OSRAM has today appointed as Chairman of the
Management Board and CEO. Aldo Kamper has been CEO of Leoni AG, Nuremberg,
a global player in energy and data management solutions for the automotive
industry, since 2018. Prior, Aldo Kamper spent over 15 years in different
management positions with OSRAM, most recently as general manager of the
business unit Opto Semiconductors, which recorded significant growth under
his leadership.
Alexander Everke was appointed member of the Management Board of ams AG
(now ams-OSRAM AG) in 2015 and became CEO in 2016. Since then he developed
the company into a leading provider of optical solutions via organic
growth and successful acquisitions. In this period, group revenues grew
rapidly from around EUR 500 million to around EUR 5 billion (fiscal year
2021). At the same time, the company’s portfolio was significantly
expanded by innovative sensor products and leading LED technology.
Alexander Everke emphasized: „Two years after operationally completing the
acquisition of OSRAM the integration of both businesses into one company
has reached an advanced stage. ams OSRAM is strongly positioned for the
future as a highly innovative semiconductor player with an attractive
portfolio and excellent market position. This is the point in time for me
to hand over leadership of the company to a successor and pursue other
endeavors. I would like to thank my colleagues in the Management Board and
the employees of ams OSRAM who supported me on this successful journey.”
Dr. Margarete Haase, Chairperson of the Supervisory Board of ams OSRAM,
noted: “We want to thank Alexander Everke for his tireless commitment and
strong leadership over the past years. He has made ams OSRAM a hallmark of
innovation, customer orientation, and technological excellence. We wish
him all the best for his future.
Aldo Kamper will continue and further develop the strategic focus of the
company. His technological competence and management experience form an
excellent basis to exploit the opportunities from combining sensing and
LED technology. He promoted early stages of the development of microLED
technology at OSRAM and will drive the successful industrialization of
this technology to benefit customers, shareholders and employees.”
Alexander Everke will actively support the transfer of his
responsibilities and remain in an advisory role to the company until
year-end 2023. Further details of the handover, which is expected to be
implemented during spring 2023, are still in discussion.
