Sabrina Soussan has looks set to join the Continental Supervisory Board as the new shareholder representative, with her appointment commencing at the end of September 2025. 

Sabrina will be nominated for election at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 30, 2026, after which the Supervisory Board is expected to elect her as its chair. She will succeed Prof. Wolfgang Reitzle, who will step down from the Continental Supervisory Board at the close of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting as planned after 16 years. 

Petra Hartwig (district head, IG BCE Kassel), Sabine Kühn (chair of the works council, Konrad Hornschuch AG), Michael Linnartz (district head, IG BCE Hanover) and Nicole Werner (chair of the works council, Vergölst GmbH) have also been nominated as new employee representatives. 

Whilst Christiane Benner and Dr. Matthias Ebenau resigned from their positions this month as they are no longer responsible for Continental as a tyre manufacturer and industry specialist in their roles as IG Metall representatives. 

Michael Iglhaut, Carmen Löffler and Anne Nothing, who up to now have been the employee representatives for the successfully spun off Automotive company, have also stepped down.

Wolfgang Reitzle, chairman of the Continental Supervisory Board, states, “Following the successful spin-off of Aumovio, we are now paving the way for an orderly succession. In Sabrina Soussan, the Nomination Committee has secured a highly qualified candidate for this role. I look forward to working with her and the other new Supervisory Board members. 

“I would also like to thank the departing members for their commitment during this intense phase of transformation and for many years of trusted collaboration on the board.”

Sabrina Soussan adds, “Being nominated to the Continental Supervisory Board is a great honour for me and I look forward to becoming part of this outstanding team and supporting the Executive Board in implementing its strategy in the future.”
