Wolfspeed appoints Gregor van Issum to CFO in the middle of the transformation
Wolfspeed, a leading provider of silicon carbide technologies, has announced a decisive personnel decision: Gregor van Issum will be the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) from September 1, 2025. This appointment, which took place after a comprehensive selection process, comes at a critical time for the company. It was only on July 1, 2025 that Wolfspeed officially submitted an application for bankruptcy after Chapter 11 in the United States. This strategic step is intended to massively relieve the company’s balance sheet and lay the basis for future growth.
An experienced renovator for a challenging phase
Gregor van Issum has over 20 years of experience in transformative restructuring from financial positions within the technology industry. He collected his expertise in managerial functions from well-known semiconductor manufacturers such as Ams-Osram AG and NXP Semiconductors NV, where he led organizations through dynamic business cycles, as the Wolfspeed press release says. Wolfspeed CEO Robert Feurle was enthusiastic about the new occupation: “I have experienced first-hand strong analytical and leading skills during our time together at AMS OSRAM.” Van Issum experience in the management of multi-billion euro companies with complex manufacturing processes will be invaluable for Wolfspeed in order to open up the full potential of the 200 mm platform, according to Feurle.
Transparency and capital structure as the top priorities
In his new role, Gregor van Issum has defined clear priorities. During this transformative period, he would like to offer transparency and clarity to the investors of Wolfspeed, as can be seen in the broadcast. Building on the recent steps to restructure, he wanted to use his experience to create a capital structure that gives the company the necessary agility for quick market changes. Van Issum is determined to help Wolfspeed to use its competitive advantages – first -class institutions, extraordinary talents and robust intellectual property rights – and to consolidate the leadership position in silicon carbide technology.
The focus: the focus: response to bankruptcy and CFO new occupation
The news of the recovery of personnel yesterday triggered a massive course explosion of the wolf speed share: the paper on the Nasdaq increased an impressive 95.76 percent to $ 2.31 and increased by a further 2.6 percent to $ 2.37.
However, analysts are split: Tipranks lists two “hold” and four “Sell” recommendations with an average price target of $ 3.37. Wolfspeed strives to complete the renovation by the end of the third quarter of 2025 in order to be able to act profitably from current business again.
