The AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement started the new year with a change in management. Since January 1, 2025, Philipp Gutmann has been leading the association as its new managing director, succeeding Thomas Simmons, who shaped the AMA Association for over 17 years. During a transition period, he will support Philipp Gutmann in an advisory capacity to ensure the continuity of the association’s activities before he retires.
Philipp Gutmann has extensive experience in the fields of marketing and communications. In recent years, he has primarily supported medium-sized companies and worked in various industries, including automotive, electronics and healthcare. He has worked for companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, Infineon, Airbus Defence & Space, MAN and Pfeiffer Vacuum. In doing so, he gained extensive insights into the challenges and opportunities of the industry and specialized in strategic communication concepts, brand management and technology transfer. He also has experience in working with start-ups and in promoting innovation projects. Through his many years of working with small and medium-sized companies, he has a deep understanding of their requirements and developments.
“For over 40 years, the AMA Association has been promoting the exchange between industry, science and politics in the field of sensor and measuring technology. I look forward to continuing this work together with our members and setting impulses for the future of this key technology,” said Philipp Gutmann.
