The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG has approved the reappointment of Chief Executive Officer Aldo Kamper, agreeing to a new contract effective October 1, 2026, and running through September 30, 2031. His previous term was set to expire on March 31, 2027. Kamper has been CEO of ams OSRAM 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. With the new contract extending through the end of September 2031, the Supervisory Board reaffirms its full confidence in Aldo Kamper and looks forward to continuing this exceptionally successful collaboration."
Kamper expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him, highlighting the team's accomplishments: "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 tenure has been marked by significant strategic moves. Shortly after taking office, he launched the "Re-establish the Base" efficiency program to focus the portfolio and strengthen profitability. Under his leadership, the Group's structures were streamlined, business units were assigned clear responsibilities, and substantial measures were taken to strengthen the financial base while reducing debt. The sale of the non-optical sensing business was successfully completed as of July 1, 2026, establishing a sound financial foundation for profitable growth in the optical core business and attractive future areas of digital photonics, such as augmented reality and data communication.
Kamper began his career at OSRAM in Regensburg in 1994 and held various leadership positions in Europe and the United States in LED and specialty lighting. He became CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit in 2010, pioneering microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and high-performance LED roadmaps. In 2018, he joined Leoni AG as CEO before returning to ams OSRAM in 2023. He holds a degree in business administration from Maastricht University and an MBA from Stanford University.
