ams OSRAM Extends CEO Aldo Kamper's Contract Through 2031

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 agreement takes effect October 1, 2026, replacing his previous term set to expire in March 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.” She added that the extended contract reaffirms the board’s full confidence in Kamper.

Kamper expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him, noting, “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.”

Since taking the helm in 2023, Kamper launched the “Re-establish the Base” efficiency program to focus the portfolio and strengthen profitability. Under his leadership, the group streamlined structures, assigned clear responsibilities to business units, and took significant measures to reduce 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’s career at OSRAM began in 1994, where he held various leadership roles in Europe and the United States, including CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit. He pioneered microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and expanded the global manufacturing footprint. In 2018, he became CEO of Leoni AG before returning to lead ams OSRAM in 2023. He holds a degree in business administration from Maastricht University and an MBA from Stanford University.
