GoKawiilSUSE to lay off about 10% of staff, citing AI and automation
SUSE, the open source software company owned by EQT, will cut roughly 10% of its 1,900 employees. CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen told staff the move follows a review of strategy and team structures, saying automation and AI have reduced the need for certain roles and allow the company to run with flatter management and less overhead. Further details on the fiscal 2027 strategy are expected to be shared with staff on November 16.
