Following the realignment of the company with a focus on pro-audio, the Sennheiser Group is entering 2023 with a newly formed management team.

The audio specialist’s new executive management board includes representatives from the three business units pro audio, business communication and Neumann, as well as supply chain, corporate functions and development. Together with Co-CEOs Daniel and Andreas Sennheiser, the board members will implement the strategic goals of the Sennheiser Group.
As of January 1, 2023, the operational business of the Sennheiser Group will be managed by a team of six: The new Executive Management Board (EMB) includes Greg Beebe (exec VP professional audio), Ron Holtdijk (exec VP business communication), Ralf Oehl (CEO Georg Neumann), Steffen Heise (CFO), Dr. Andreas Fischer (COO) and Markus Redelstab (CTO).
Peter Claussen and Thomas Weinzierl, who were previously COOs responsible for professional business and supply chain, will also remain on the EMB before their respective retirements in the course of the years 2023 and 2024. In the intervening period, they will gradually hand over their operational tasks and knowledge to the new EMB. In the future, Co-CEOs Dr. Andreas and Daniel Sennheiser will primarily focus on corporate management and strategy development and devote more time to customers, while the other EMB members will manage the operational business. Yasmine Riechers and Mareike Oer complete the leadership of the Sennheiser Group as an extended management team, representing the corporate development office and brand and corporate communication.
"With the integration of the business units into the EMB, our customers are moving even more into focus," explains Co-CEO Andreas Sennheiser. "In the future, their very different needs will be represented at the highest management level and included in all decisions, enabling us to act even closer to the market." The inclusion of product development into the direct scope of the EMB also reflects the great importance of this area and the associated efforts to align innovations and new technologies even more closely with customer needs. And by dovetailing all central functions with the business units, the different perspectives will be brought together in a new, strong management team. ?
