Elmar Weber joins Thieme as Chief Technology Officer

Elmar Weber has been appointed as Chief Technology Officer and as such he expands the management board of the Thieme Group. As a market-leading provider of customized information and services, the Thieme Group is committed to improving health and health care. In his role, Elmar Weber will continue to drive forward the company's technological transformation into a digital healthcare provider together with his teams.

After studying computer science, Elmar Weber worked as a freelance software developer and consultant for clients such as SAP, Holiday Check and long-established companies such as Heidelberger Druckmaschinen. In 2013, he founded his first start-up, launched it on the market and sold it successfully at a later date. In 2018, he took on the role of CTO at the then start-up Amboss and played a key role in expanding and developing the company. Most recently, Elmar Weber was interim CTO at the publishing platform Morressier, where he worked on the systematic use of AI to support academic publishing.

By joining Thieme, Elmar Weber can combine his experience from the start-up world with that of established companies. “I am thrilled by the opportunity to work in a company with such a long tradition and, at the same time, such a strong focus on innovation,” explains Elmar Weber. "I particularly look forward to working with the teams at Thieme to develop innovative solutions that have a positive impact on people's health." 

Thieme has deliberately chosen someone who is familiar with the dynamics of young digital companies for its own digital transformation. "We are delighted that in Elmar Weber we have found someone who has the technological expertise we need and at the same time shares our values in such a fitting way," say Dr. Albrecht Hauff and Joana Hauff, who represents the 5th generation of the family business and in particular coordinates the transformation at Thieme.
