Exyte appoints Peter Schönhofer as CEO
Exyte, a global leader in the design, engineering, and delivery of high-tech facilities, announced today that Chief Financial Officer Peter Schönhofer has assumed leadership of the company following the retirement of Dr. Wolfgang Büchele after nine successful years as CEO.
Schönhofer will serve as Interim CEO in addition to his responsibilities as CFO while a structured process to appoint a permanent CEO is underway. The process is expected to conclude by the end of the year.
Exyte thanks Dr. Büchele for his leadership and contributions to the development of the company.
"Exyte is in a strong position, and our strategic direction remains unchanged," says Peter Schönhofer. "We have exceptional people, industry-defining clients, and attractive markets to serve, backed by decades of experience building some of the most advanced work environments in the world and an expanding set of AI-enabled tools and resources. Together with the leadership team, I will build on those strengths, ensure continuity for our customers, and drive execution excellence, seizing the opportunities ahead and continuing to create the facilities that bring our customers' visions to life."
As CFO, Schönhofer has been closely involved in steering Exyte’s business, strategy, and operations, and will ensure a smooth transition in leadership.
Exyte's shareholders have expressed their full confidence in Peter Schönhofer and the renewed leadership team now guiding the company, together with their support for Exyte as it builds on its strong position and opportunities ahead.
