Aleph Alpha Cuts About 50 Jobs as Strategy Pivots to Customers

The move reflects a pivot toward efficiency-focused customer projects after a 2025 leadership reshuffle.

Overview

  • The company confirmed roughly 50 redundancies, amounting to about 15%–17% of a workforce that was recently just under 350.
  • Management says the reductions stem from a realignment launched in the second half of 2025 to prioritize core competencies and paying customers.
  • Reports conflict over founder Jonas Andrulis’s role, with Handelsblatt and manager magazin saying he is stepping away from advisory duties despite earlier plans for him to chair the board.
  • Manager magazin reports a planned year‑end promotion of growth executive Ilhan Scheer to a co‑CEO role did not go through, leaving the leadership setup unresolved.
  • Aleph Alpha states no further measures are planned as it concentrates resources on areas deemed to have the strongest growth prospects.
