In his new role, Daniel will focus on the strategic direction of the Sennheiser Group. "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. I will continue to work closely with my brother Andreas in his role as CEO and with the existing executive management board," he said.

Andreas Sennheiser 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 added.

Daniel and Andreas will continue to pursue their shared goal of driving sustainable and independent growth for the Sennheiser Group and building the future of audio.

Progress means shaping change positively—both for me in my new role and for Sennheiser as a company," Daniel explained.
