The Supervisory Board has prepared this succession together with Berthold Kerl and the shareholders over many months. We warmly thank Berthold for six years of leadership in which KuppingerCole grew stronger and gained global recognition as a prominent European voice in the challenging space of Identity at the age of AI. Oliver Schnürle has proven to be a key contributor to our Management Board, and he has our full confidence and support as he leads the company into its next phase.
Michel Roux, Supervisory Board Chairman, KuppingerCole Analysts
Leading KuppingerCole has been a privilege. My thanks go to our team and to the clients, partners, and community who have placed their trust in us over many years. In Oliver Schnürle, the company gains a CEO who has shaped our strategy from within and understands our market from every perspective. I look forward to continuing to work alongside him as he takes KuppingerCole forward.
Berthold Kerl, Member of the Board, KuppingerCole Analysts
As AI agents and new regulation reshape identity and security, organizations need independent guidance more than ever, and we will deliver it with a distinctly European perspective. We will make our research easier to use in the tools and formats our clients work with every day, and we will grow the European Identity and Cloud Conference and our community as the place where practitioners, decision-makers, and technology providers move the market forward together
Oliver Schnürle, Chief Executive Officer, KuppingerCole Analysts
