Gabriel joins Rheinmetall's oversight team as a member of the supervisory board
Rheinmetall Announces New Members for Supervisory Board
Two prominent figures, Sabina Jeschke and former Vice Chancellor and Economics Minister of Germany, Sigmar Gabriel, have been nominated for positions on the Supervisory Board of Rheinmetall AG. This announcement was made by the Supervisory Board of the major German defense and automotive company, and will be confirmed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on May 13, 2025.
Sabina Jeschke, an honorary professor at TU Berlin and an expert in applied artificial intelligence and optimization, brings a wealth of experience in cutting-edge technologies to the table. Her nomination signifies Rheinmetall's commitment to innovation, with her expertise in AI set to play a significant role in the company's future.
Jeschke's connection to Rheinmetall is a result of her leadership roles in AI-focused companies, notably in quantum computing and optimization sectors. Her appointment will replace long-serving Supervisory Board members Prof. Dr. Susanne Hannemann and Klaus-Günter Vennemann, marking a strategic shift towards innovation-oriented governance at Rheinmetall.
Sigmar Gabriel, on the other hand, is a well-respected figure in the fields of economics and geopolitics due to his long-standing political activity. His nomination by Rheinmetall is a connection event to Jeschke's, although it is not directly linked to his political background. Gabriel's expertise in economics and geopolitics, gained through years of political service, could prove invaluable to Rheinmetall as it navigates the complex landscape of global politics and economics.
The nomination of both Gabriel and Jeschke by Rheinmetall signifies a potential shift in the company's strategic direction or perspective. The election to the Supervisory Board is scheduled for May 13, 2025, and the appointments are pending approval at the Annual General Meeting.
