After almost 25 years at the top of the company – first ProSTEP Produktdatentechnologie GmbH and later PROSTEP AG – it’s time for me to say goodbye: goodbye to the company, to my dear colleagues, to our valued partners and customers and to the entire PLM -Community. I am going to retire in the middle of the year and have made it my goal, unlike many of my beloved companions, not to take up an advisory role, but to devote myself entirely to my private interests. 25 years of PROSTEP and more than 40 years of CAD/PLM history are enough, I think.

Generational change at PROSTEP AG: together with Karsten Theis, BHC Managing Director Philipp Hasenäcker takes over some of the tasks of long-standing CEO Dr. Bernd Pätzold, who will retire in the middle of the year. In an interview, the new and outgoing board members explain the challenges the company is facing and what it takes to overcome them.

The supervisory board of PROSTEP AG has appointed Philipp Hasenäcker, managing director of PROSTEP subsidiary BHC, as a new member of the executive board. Among other things, Hasenäcker will assume responsibility for the consulting business and will support his fellow executive board member Karsten Theis expand the company’s consulting and solutions offering in the direction of software-driven business.
