Schindler Holding AG, a leading global provider of elevators, escalators, and related services, has announced that it will bring forward the appointment of Paolo Compagna as its new CEO. Compagna, currently serving as Chief Operating Officer, will assume the role effective February 1, 2025, instead of April 1, 2025, as previously planned. This acceleration in the leadership transition comes as the company's current CEO, Silvio Napoli, has decided not to seek re-election to the Board of Directors at the upcoming General Meeting of Shareholders on March 25, 2025.

The decision to bring forward Compagna's appointment reflects the Board of Directors' confidence in his abilities and potential to lead the company effectively. Compagna has been with Schindler since 2010, occupying various leadership roles, including CEO of Schindler Germany. His background includes degrees in electrical engineering and business engineering from Germany, which has equipped him with the necessary skills and knowledge to take on the CEO role.

Compagna's appointment comes at a time when Schindler is committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2040 through a 90% absolute reduction of its greenhouse gas emissions in scope 1, 2, and 3 from a 2020 baseline. His leadership will be crucial in driving the company's sustainability initiatives and ensuring that its growth is environmentally responsible.



The new Group Executive Committee, effective April 1, 2025, will include members like Matteo Attrovio as CIO and Carla De Geyseleer as CFO, alongside Compagna. The Board acknowledged Napoli's impactful leadership and his successful turnaround efforts in recent years, expressing its gratitude for his contributions to the company.

Schindler's 2024 full-year results will be presented on February 12, 2025, with revenue growth and EBIT reported margin expected to be in line with the outlook for 2024. The company reiterates its mid-term outlook, indicating its confidence in the new leadership team's ability to drive the company's success.

In conclusion, Schindler Holding AG's decision to bring forward Paolo Compagna's CEO appointment demonstrates the company's commitment to maintaining a strong leadership team and driving its growth and sustainability initiatives. Compagna's background and experience align well with the company's future plans, and investors can expect a smooth transition and continued success under his leadership.
