Martina Koederitz hands over management
IBM has announced that Martina Koederitz will no longer manage the business in the DACH region. The position will be taken over by Matthias Hartmann, who is returning to IBM after several years at other companies. Koederitz is moving to the global business level.
IBM Germany is undergoing a change at the top. Martina Koederitz, who led the IT group's DACH business for almost seven years, is taking over the global management of the industrial and automotive sector at IBM. She will be succeeded by Matthias Hartmann, currently a member of Postbank's Digital Advisory Board, Senior Advisor in the field of digital transformation and Managing Partner at Mkh Assets. Before Hartmann moved to GfK in Nuremberg as CEO, he had already worked for IBM for more than 23 years since 1988.
Martina Koederitz has been CEO of IBM Germany since 2011 and has been responsible for the entire DACH region since 2013. According to the company, IBM invested significantly in the German-speaking region under her leadership and opened the Watson Center in Munich, among other things. As Global Industry Managing Director, Industrial and Automotive, she will now lead customers from the automotive and industrial sectors into the "digital and cognitive age" with the corresponding solutions, as IBM explains in a press release.
