The Supervisory Board of SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE has extended the contract of Chief Executive Officer Jens Amail ahead of schedule by five years, with his tenure now secured until December 2030. This early renewal reflects the company's successful operational performance and strategic development under his leadership since January 2023. Willi Westenberger, Managing Director at Carlyle and Chairman of SNP's Supervisory Board, stated that under Amail's guidance, SNP has made significant progress across key strategic priorities, strengthened its market position, and delivered sustained operational improvements.
The company has accelerated its international expansion and broadened its global partner ecosystem as the foundation for sustainable growth. Since the end of 2022, SNP has achieved annual records in order entry, revenue, and EBIT. This sustained increase in profitability was supported by a successful internationalization and growth strategy that opened new markets, significantly expanded the software business, and elevated ecosystem collaboration. Amail also played a key role in strengthening corporate governance and strategic stability, including the return to a dual governance structure with an Executive and Supervisory Board and the resolution of long-standing legal matters.
On the product side, the introduction of the SNP Kyano platform in 2024 represented an important evolutionary step in supporting the company's strategy as an enabler of digital transformations and business agility. Building on this momentum, SNP entered into a strategic partnership with global investment firm Carlyle at the end of 2024. This partnership is intended to support the next phase of the company's growth by accelerating strategy execution and further expanding SNP's global footprint.

The early contract extension ensures continuity at the top of the company as SNP enters the next chapter of its growth story, with the Supervisory Board expressing clear confidence in Amail's leadership and the strong team he has built. This decision signals stability during a period of significant transformation in the technology sector, where consistent leadership is crucial for navigating complex digital transformation challenges faced by enterprises worldwide. The move underscores the importance of executive continuity in driving long-term strategic initiatives, particularly as companies like SNP navigate expanding global markets and evolving digital demands. By securing Amail's leadership through 2030, SNP aims to maintain the strategic momentum that has delivered record financial performance and positioned the company for sustained growth in the competitive enterprise software landscape.
