ICW Names Peter Kirschbauer to be new CEO

Walldorf, 12/17/2009

As a part of the ongoing process of strategic focus on the grown market for IT solutions in the health care sector, the ICW Supervisory Board has nominated long-time SAP manager Peter Kirschbauer to be the new CEO effective January 1, 2010. Peter Kirschbauer is a recognized expert for specialized software solutions, especially for the services sector.

During his 27 years at SAP, Peter Kirschbauer proved himself in several leadership positions within the company. Among other positions he had worldwide responsibility for leading the SAP division that provides specialized solutions for the services sector (commerce, telecommunications, government including health care, banking and insurance, retailers, logistics and other service branches). Most recently, Kirschbauer had worldwide responsibility for SAP’s Custom Development division, which is responsible for the development of the customer-specific software solutions.

With the appointment of Peter Kirschbauer, ICW will be enhancing its competency as a specialized software house for the continually growing health market. Peter Kirschbauer will be taking up his new responsibilities on January 1, 2010 and will be assisted by Jörg Stadler, who will be the Board member responsible for development.

Through dedication and hard work, Dr. Lutz Kleinholz and Dr. Georg Ralle succeeded in gaining ICW a place in the market - as a partner, supplier and consultant. They fulfilled this mission in just four months, as shown convincingly by the turnaround of the business development trend. Now, Lutz Kleinholz and Georg Ralle have been relieved of their Board responsibilities and will be supporting ICW in future in a consulting role: Lutz Kleinholz with his company healthpartner consulting and its important contacts in the health care community and Georg Ralle with his years of strategic experience in the scientific and policy sectors.

“We are convinced we have in Peter Kirschbauer the right man at the top for a successful future for our company. At the same time, our thanks go to Lutz Kleinholz and Georg Ralle for their first-rate work in repositioning the company and laying the firm foundation upon which Peter Kirschbauer will be able to build,” said Prof. Dr. Christof Hettich, President of the ICW Supervisory Board.
