As of April 1st, 2021, Peter Voss became new Managing Director of ASAM e.V. He follows Dr Klaus Estenfeld who is retiring from his position as Managing Director after being with ASAM for five years.

“We thank Dr Estenfeld for his intensive and successful work as well as his tireless commitment over the past five years. The last five years have been exceptional for ASAM in any aspect. At the same time, we welcome Peter Voss for taking up this task. We are convinced that he, together with the experienced ASAM team, will further develop our association and drive it to new limits,” said Prof Marcus Rieker, Chairman of the ASAM Board of Directors.

Dr Estenfeld will remain with ASAM as Executive Advisor until September 2022, advising and supporting the new Managing Director, Mr. Voss, and the ASAM Board. In addition, until further notice, he will remain Executive Director of ASAM Japan GK and a member of the Advisory Board of C-ASAM in China. He will also be responsible for membership management and will act as Liaison Manager for cooperations and partnerships of all kinds.

The new Managing Director, Peter Voss, has gained long-standing experience in the automotive semiconductor business from which the last two decades were dominated by the growing ADAS and autonomous driving market. Through his career, Voss managed global business and market developments as well as strategic product definitions while working with OEMS and Tier-1s.

“I am very excited to take over the task as Managing Director and look forward to increasing and further developing ASAM’s unique value of an agile standard development platform for OEMs, Tier-1s, tool vendors and research institutes. My main goal will be to lead ASAM to the next level of relevance in the industry.” (Source: ASAM)
