SNP SE Extends CEO Jens Amail's Contract

SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE (SNP SE) has made a significant move by extending CEO Jens Amail's contract ahead of schedule for another five years, ensuring his position until December 2030. This early renewal, announced on January 15, 2026, in Heidelberg, Germany, demonstrates the company’s confidence in Amail's leadership and the remarkable performance the company has shown in recent times.

Since taking on the role in January 2023, Amail has played a pivotal role in steering SNP towards notable achievements in operational improvements and consistent financial growth. The decision to prolong his contract underscores a solid belief in the strategies being implemented under his guidance, fostering continuous advancements in the company’s offerings and market positioning.

Willi Westenberger, Managing Director at Carlyle and Chairman of the SNP Supervisory Board, shared insights on Amail's leadership, noting, “Under CEO Amail's direction, SNP has made substantial progress in achieving critical strategic objectives, reinforcing its market position while ensuring ongoing operational improvements. Furthermore, we are accelerating our international market activities and expanding our global partner ecosystem aimed at sustainable growth.”

Amail’s leadership has led SIMD to achieve record highs in orders, revenues, and EBIT every year since the end of 2022, a testament to the success of SNP's global expansion and growth strategies. The targeting of new markets and a significant boost in the software business have contributed to this impressive trajectory, elevating SNP's collaborative efforts with ecosystems to unprecedented levels.

In addition to these operational advances, Amail has been integral in enhancing SNP’s corporate governance and strategic stability. The resolution of long-standing legal issues and a renewed commitment to a two-tier governance structure augur well for the company’s future prospects. Notably, the introduction of the SNP Kyano platform, set to launch in 2024, is a key element of SNP’s strategy aimed at enabling digital transformation and agile business practices.

As part of this forward momentum, SNP has laid the groundwork for a strategic partnership with Carlyle, expected to be finalized by the end of 2024. This collaboration is designed to accelerate the execution of SNP's strategic objectives while further expanding its global footprint, propelling the organization into its next phases of growth.

The early contract extension of Amail underlines SNP's commitment to providing stable leadership as it embarks on this new growth trajectory. The strategic directions and operational triumphs witnessed underscore the importance of leadership continuity during significant transitions.
