Continuity in the Executive Board of Nemetschek SE: Supervisory Board Extends Contracts of CEO Yves Padrines and CFO Louise Öfverström Until the End of 2028
- Following a successful initial growth phase, the experienced executive team is now ushering in the next stage of the company’s development
Munich, June 2, 2025 – The Supervisory Board of Nemetschek SE has extended the contracts of CEO Yves Padrines and CFO Louise Öfverström ahead of schedule until the end of 2028, thereby sending a clear signal of continuity and stability in the Executive Board of the internationally leading software provider for the construction and media industries. With this decision, the Supervisory Board expresses its strong confidence in the current leadership team and sets the stage for the next phase of the company’s growth.
Under the leadership of Yves Padrines, who has been at the helm of the company since March 2022, the Nemetschek Group has taken significant steps in its strategic direction, including the shift to subscription and SaaS models, international expansion, and investments in future technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud solutions, and digital twins. In addition to several acquisitions and more than a dozen investments in innovative start-ups, a key milestone was the acquisition of US-based GoCanvas in 2024, the largest in the company’s history.
CFO Louise Öfverström, appointed in January 2023, has successfully strengthened the Nemetschek Group’s financial processes and played a key role in driving the company’s operational excellence. As part of the strategically important transformation program, she has enhanced organizational efficiency and effectiveness, harmonized processes, and modernized the tool and support landscape. Notably, she oversaw the successful placement of Nemetschek’s first EUR 300 million promissory note, marking an important step into international capital markets.
“Nemetschek is extremely well positioned for future growth,” says Yves Padrines. “With our strong foundation and clear strategy, we are excited to continue executing on our ambitions in our fast-evolving industries.” Louise Öfverström adds, “I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Supervisory Board and our talented teams around the globe to deliver sustainable value to all our stakeholders.”
The Executive Board was further strengthened in January 2025 by the addition of Usman Shuja. He joined Nemetschek in 2023 and leads the Build & Construct Division as Chief Division Officer, while also serving as CEO of the Group’s brand Bluebeam.
