Zeiss AG names future Chairman of the Supervisory Board
The Annual General Meeting of Carl Zeiss AG appointed Dr. Michael Bolle as a new member of the Supervisory Board. He is to be elected Chairman of the the Board in January 2022.
Michael Bolle (60) succeeds Dr. Dieter Kurz (73), whose term as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Carl Zeiss AG will end after almost ten years on December 31, 2021. Bolle will also take over from Dr. Kurz as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Carl Zeiss Foundation on January 1, 2022, and will thus represent all shareholder interests of the Foundation in the future. The foundation is also the sole shareholder of Carl Zeiss AG.
Bolle holds a doctorate in engineering and has held management positions at Bosch since 1992 - with an interruption as the founder of a high-tech startup from 1999 to 2002. Most recently, he was a managing director as well as chief technology officer (CTO) and chief digital officer (CDO) at Bosch. During this time, he drove the creation of the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence and the connection of the Internet of Things with artificial intelligence (AIoT), among other things.
