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, ensuring his leadership through December 2030. This early renewal reflects the company's strong operational performance and successful strategic development under Amail's guidance since January 2023, providing stability as SNP enters its next growth phase with investment firm Carlyle.
Willi Westenberger, Managing Director at Carlyle and Chairman of SNP's Supervisory Board, stated that under Amail's leadership, SNP has made significant progress across key strategic priorities, strengthened its market position, and delivered sustained operational improvements. The company has accelerated international expansion and broadened its global partner ecosystem as the foundation for sustainable growth. This contract extension represents a clear signal of continuity and confidence in Amail's leadership and the team he has built.
The operational progress and stability achieved by SNP are directly linked to Amail's tenure. Since late 2022, the company has achieved annual records in order entry, revenue, and EBIT. This sustained profitability increase was supported by a successful internationalization and growth strategy that opened new markets, significantly expanded the software business, and elevated ecosystem collaboration.

Amail played a key role in strengthening SNP's corporate governance and strategic stability through the return to a dual governance structure with Executive and Supervisory Boards 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 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 company's helm as SNP begins this new chapter with Carlyle's support.
This leadership stability matters because SNP serves as a critical technology partner for digital transformation in SAP-centric environments, working with over 3,000 customers across 80 countries, including numerous DAX 40 and Fortune 500 companies. With the technology sector experiencing rapid evolution and increasing demand for data-enabled transformation capabilities, consistent leadership provides strategic direction for both SNP and its global client base. The company's continued growth under established leadership supports industry stability and innovation in enterprise software transformation solutions.
