The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG has approved the reappointment of Chief Executive Officer Aldo Kamper, extending his contract through September 30, 2031. The new term begins October 1, 2026, replacing his previous contract that was set to expire on March 31, 2027. Kamper has served as CEO since April 2023.
Dr. Margarete Haase, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board, stated, "As CEO, Aldo Kamper has strategically realigned ams OSRAM and laid the foundation for sustainable growth. Under his leadership, key milestones have been achieved—from the successful implementation of the 'Re-establish the Base' efficiency program to the strengthening of the financial base and the clear positioning of ams OSRAM in the attractive digital photonics field." The board's decision reaffirms its full confidence in Kamper's leadership.
Kamper expressed gratitude, saying, "I would like to thank the Supervisory Board for its trust and am proud of everything the entire ams OSRAM team has accomplished over the past few years. Together, we have established the basis for the next growth phase as a focused technology company. I look forward to continuing along this path with determination and further developing ams OSRAM as the leading company in the fast-growing field of digital photonics."
Kamper's career at OSRAM began in 1994 in Regensburg, where he held various leadership roles in Europe and the United States in LED and specialty lighting. As CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit starting in 2010, he pioneered microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and high-performance LED roadmaps, while expanding the global manufacturing footprint. In 2018, he became CEO of Leoni AG, a provider of energy and data management solutions for the automotive industry.
Since returning to ams OSRAM as CEO in 2023, Kamper launched the "Re-establish the Base" efficiency program to focus the portfolio and enhance profitability. Under his leadership, the group streamlined structures, assigned clear responsibilities to business units, and took significant measures to strengthen the financial base while reducing debt. The sale of the non-optical sensing business was completed on July 1, 2026, establishing a sound financial foundation for profitable growth in the optical core business and future areas such as augmented reality and data communication.
Kamper holds a degree in business administration from Maastricht University and an MBA from Stanford University. He is a Dutch citizen. Further information is available at ams-osram.com.
