As CSO, Michaelis will lead key strategic projects, including expanding global AI and managed service practices, strengthening the Saudi Arabia location, and optimising the organisational structure following Qvest's past and future acquisitions.
Qvest has named Jonas Michaelis as its new Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), tasking him with overseeing the implementation of the company’s global strategy and strengthening cooperation across its offices in Europe, the USA, Australia and the MENA region.
In this newly established role, Michaelis will work closely with CEO Peter Nöthen, CTO Thomas Müller, CFO Christian Boris Hönig and the broader management team of Qvest Group. His responsibilities include advancing strategic projects such as expanding global Artificial Intelligence and Managed Service practices, enhancing the company’s presence in Saudi Arabia, and refining the organisational structure following recent and future acquisitions.
Michaelis, an expert in developing new business areas, has been leading the global development of Qvest’s spin-off, qibb—a low-code integration platform for media workflows—since 2021. He will continue to serve as CEO of qibb alongside his new CSO role, where he will remain in charge of strategy and marketing.
Speaking about the new role, Jonas 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.”
Qvest has seen continuous growth, both organically and through acquisitions, transforming into a leading global service provider in digital transformation, with its workforce expanding from 300 to around 1,300 employees since 2016.
