After more than a decade of shared responsibility as Co-CEOs, Daniel and Dr Andreas Sennheiser will take on different roles within the Sennheiser Group. Daniel succeeds Andreas Dornbracht, who has served as Chairman of the Board for the past four years. Dornbracht will remain on the Board as a member and continue his work alongside the other Board members.
Effective January 2026, Daniel Sennheiser will become Chairman of the Board of Directors, while his brother Andreas will continue as CEO, overseeing the operational business of the family-owned company.
‘By joining the Board of Directors, I will concentrate more on the long-term development of the company and on continuously strengthening key customer relationships,’ Daniel says. ‘I will continue to work closely with my brother in his role as CEO and with the existing Executive Management Board.’
Andreas will continue to lead the company as CEO and, together with the Executive Management Board, manage the operational business. ‘This new structure enables us to combine day-to-day business with strategic foresight, which is crucial for the future success of the Sennheiser Group,’ he says.
‘Our trusted relationship and complementary perspectives have enabled us to lead the company successfully as Co-CEOs for more than ten years. This will also remain the basis for our future collaboration.’
‘I look forward to this next chapter of our family business, which has successfully evolved over three generations. Progress means shaping change positively – both for me in my new role and for Sennheiser as a company,’ says Daniel.
‘We sincerely thank Andreas Dornbracht for his dedicated and forward-looking leadership over the past years,’ says Daniel. ‘His strategic perspective and valuable input have been a great asset to all of us. I am delighted that he will remain on the Board and that we can continue to benefit from his experience and expertise.’
In addition to Andreas Dornbracht, the Board of Directors includes Iris Epple-Righi, Stephan Plenz, and Prof Dr Jörg Sennheiser (Honorary Member).
