Osram downsizes Management Board
At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board decided to downsize the Management Board of OSRAM Licht AG from three to two individuals. Following approval of the domination and profit and loss transfer agreement with ams by the Osram shareholders, it is foreseeable that the areas of responsibilities for technology will be reorganized within the combined company. At Osram, the integration of corporate innovation into the business units had already reduced major activities from the responsibilities of the Chief Technology Officer. The Osram Supervisory Board will therefore enter into negotiations with CTO Officer Stefan Kampmann (57) to terminate his contract prematurely.
"Due to his steadfast dedication, Stefan Kampmann had a decisive influence on the technological change at Osram in recent years," said Olaf Berlien, CEO of OSRAM Licht AG. "With his outstanding technological expertise, Stefan Kampmann made clear decisions to successfully realign Osram, for which we thank him very much," said Peter Bauer, Chairman of the Osram Supervisory Board. "He also initiated important efficiency programs in the Opto Semiconductors business unit and actively supported the transformation of the automotive business."
