Qvest names Jonas Michaelis as chief strategy officer 

Qvest has appointed Jonas Michaelis to the newly created role of chief strategy officer (CSO). His main responsibilities will be to implement the company’s global strategy and to strengthen collaboration between Qvest’s global offices in Europe, the US, Australia and the MENA region.

Michaelis will work closely with Peter Nöthen (CEO), Thomas Müller (CTO), Christian Boris Hönig (CFO) and the extended management of all Qvest Group companies to drive forward the implementation of strategic focus projects, such as the expansion of the global artificial intelligence and managed service practices, as well as the further development and optimisation of the organisational structure in the course of past and future acquisitions of the Qvest Group.

As an expert in the development of new business areas, Michaelis has been leading the global development of the Qvest spin-off qibb, the low-code integration platform for media workflows, as CEO since the beginning of 2021. He will retain this role alongside his new position as CSO and will continue to be responsible for strategy and marketing at qibb. Prior to joining qibb, Michaelis worked at BCG and Picus Capital as a digital business model consultant.

Michaelis holds BSc and MSc degrees in Business Administration and Finance, which he obtained in Mannheim, Hong Kong and Paris.

Michaelis said: “Qvest has achieved remarkable global growth in recent years and I look forward to continuing this path together with our global team. In a dynamic industry, it is essential to have a forward-looking strategy. My goal is to network Qvest’s diverse offerings and business areas even more closely and to create innovative synergies. In this way, we want to support our customers worldwide as a competent partner from strategy development to the implementation of technologically future-oriented projects.”
