SNP Prepares for Handover to New CEO
Heidelberg, October 26, 2022 – The software and consulting company SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE, a leading provider of software for digital transformations and automated data migrations in the SAP environment, prepares for the handover to a new CEO. At the beginning of the year, Michael Eberhardt expressed his wish to leave the company in the course of 2023 as part of long-term succession planning and a well-planned transition. As a result, SNP’s Board of Directors immediately initiated the search for suitable candidates.
The Board of Directors has made progress in the search and a successor will be chosen in the next few weeks from a now small pool of candidates. Each of the candidates would be able to onboard in early 2023. The Board of Directors has requested that Michael Eberhardt remains with the company until the organized handover has been completed.
"We sincerely thank Michael Eberhardt for his far-sightedness, commitment and passion. He took on the position of CEO at a very difficult time and led SNP through a period of great economic and social uncertainty with diligence and clarity," explains SNP’s Chairman of the Board Richard Roy.
"The decision was not easy for me. But I also felt that it was time to hand over," says Michael Eberhardt. "I am very proud of what we have achieved together at SNP. Thanks to the diligent planning jointly with the Board of Directors, a succession is assured and a smooth transition is guaranteed. As a result, SNP is and will remain very well positioned in the market and will continue to thrive."
