FUCHS SE announced on July 9, 2026, that its Supervisory Board has nominated Maike Schuh (52) for election as a shareholder representative at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for May 5, 2027. Following her election, she is expected to become Chair of the Audit Committee. This move is part of the company's long-term succession planning.
Schuh will succeed Ingeborg Neumann, who will step down from the Supervisory Board at the conclusion of the 2027 Annual General Meeting after twelve years of service. Neumann led the Audit Committee with foresight and made significant contributions to its work. The Supervisory Board expressed gratitude for her years of trusted collaboration.
Dr. Christoph Loos, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of FUCHS SE, stated, "Maike Schuh brings deep expertise in finance and taxation, combined with many years of international leadership experience. With this combination, she will create valuable momentum for the Supervisory Board's strategic development."
Schuh's career began as a tax lawyer at KPMG after completing her law degree. She then spent 13 years at Heraeus, where she held roles in international tax matters, corporate projects, and as Head of Finance in the United States. In 2015, she joined Evonik Industries, serving in several senior leadership positions in Accounting, Finance, Strategy, and the Performance Materials division, and most recently as a member of the Executive Board responsible for the CFO function.
This nomination underscores FUCHS SE's commitment to ensuring strong governance and strategic oversight as the company continues to lead in the lubrication solutions industry. The transition is expected to be seamless given Schuh's extensive background in finance and international business.
