Competence profile

After completing his studies in business information technology, Klaus Lichtenauer was able to gain a lot of experience in almost all disciplines of information technology in his more than 35 years of work. The skills he developed over the course of his career from software engineer to IT architecture, consulting and program/project management to an IT manager give him a holistic view of complex tasks in transformation and digitalization projects.

Klaus gained his expertise in intercultural management, including stakeholder management, as well as employee leadership and motivation, in various senior management roles at a large German energy company – including more than 15 years as an expat in several European countries. His areas of responsibility focused on IT management such as CIO of a decentralized business subsidiary, decentralized managing director of an IT organization or IT transformation manager.

As an internationally active interim CIO, CDO or CTO, but also as a coach and management consultant, Klaus supports corporations and medium-sized companies in the strategic repositioning of the IT organization, the development of a digital unit, digital transformation & restructuring, and the implementation of IT excellence. Consistent in the realization of the tasks, but respectful in dealing with people, Klaus helps his clients in the future-oriented positioning for a successful business with their customers.
