The largest independent provider of pioneering lubricant solutions in the world, Fuchs SE, has announced intended changes to its supervisory board.
Fuchs, which offers solutions like turbine oil and gear oil, says its supervisory board nominated Maike Schuh to join it as a shareholder representative. If elected at next year’s annual general meeting (AGM), she will likely succeed Ingeborg Neumann as chair of the audit committee.
Neumann is planning to step down from the board at the end of the same AGM after 12 years of service. During this period, Fuchs says she has significantly contributed to the work of the audit committee and led it with foresight.
In a press release, the supervisory board expressed its thanks to Neumann for her constructive and trusted cooperation over the years. The board’s chairman, Dr. Christoph Loos, said about the upcoming candidate:
“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 earned a degree in law before starting her career at KPMG as a tax lawyer. She then moved to Heraeus where she took on various roles over 13 years, such as corporate projects, international tax affairs and the US head of finance. She then went on to hold senior leadership positions in various areas at Evonik Industries from 2015. She most recently served as the chief financial officer on that company’s executive board.
