ams OSRAM Extends CEO Aldo Kamper’s Term Through 2031

The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG has approved the reappointment of Chief Executive Officer Aldo Kamper and agreed 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. Aldo Kamper has been CEO of ams OSRAM since April 2023.

Aldo Kamper has been CEO of ams-OSRAM AG since April 2023. Shortly after taking office, he launched the strategic efficiency program “Re-establish the Base” to focus the portfolio and strengthen profitability. 

Additionally, under his leadership, the Group’s structures were streamlined, the business units were assigned clear responsibilities, and significant measures were taken to strengthen the financial base while substantially reducing debt. 

The sale of the non-optical sensing business was completed as of July 1, 2026. With this, a sound financial foundation has been established for profitable growth in the optical core business as well as in attractive future areas of digital photonics, such as augmented reality and data communication.

Dr. Margarete Haase, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of ams OSRAM, said: “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.”

Aldo Kamper began his professional career at OSRAM in Regensburg in 1994 and held various leadership positions in Europe and the United States in the areas of LED and specialty lighting. In 2010, he took on the role of CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit. 

During his tenure, he pioneered the development of microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and roadmaps for high-performance LEDs. In addition, the global manufacturing footprint was further expanded. In 2018, he joined Leoni AG as CEO, a global provider of products, solutions, and services for energy and data management in the automotive industry.

“I would like to thank the Supervisory Board for its trust and I 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,” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of ams OSRAM.
