The Supervisory Board of ams OSRAM AG of Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany has approved the reappointment of CEO Aldo Kamper and agreed to a new contract effective 1 October, and running through 30 September 2031. His previous term was set to expire on 31 March 2027. Kamper has been CEO since April 2023.
“As CEO, Aldo Kamper has strategically realigned ams OSRAM and laid the foundation for sustainable growth,” comments Supervisory Board chairwoman Dr Margarete Haase. “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 adds.

“Together, we have established the basis for the next growth phase as a focused technology company,” says Kamper. “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 began his professional career at OSRAM in Regensburg in 1994 and held leadership positions in Europe and the USA 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 micro-LED 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.
Shortly after becoming CEO of ams OSRAM AG in April 2023, Kamper launched the strategic efficiency program ‘Re-establish the Base’ to focus the portfolio and strengthen profitability. In addition, 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 1 July. With this, a sound financial foundation has been established for profitable growth in the optical core business as well as in future areas of digital photonics, such as augmented reality and data communication.
