Siemens strengthens its team in the DACH region
Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced two important appointments in the DACH region: Klaus Löckel, Head of the DACH region since April 2022 and Managing Director of Siemens Digital Industries Software in Germany, will be supported by Christopher-Alexander Unkauf, Managing Director for Austria and Switzerland since October 2022.
With this new management team, Siemens Digital Industries Software aims to drive the introduction of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services in the region. Siemens Xcelerator supports companies in accelerating their digital transformation. The essential driver is IT-OT convergence - the combination of software and hardware and the merging of the real world of automation with the digital world of information technology. To this end, Siemens is pursuing its digital thread approach - the complete digital networking of all data to create a comprehensive digital twin.
Before joining Siemens, Klaus Löckel was Executive Vice President Business Development at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. Before that, he spent eight years at Dassault Systèmes. There he headed the Transportation & Mobility and Business Transformation sales division before being appointed Managing Director in 2018. He also spent six years in sales positions at SAP, three years as CIO and over two years as Senior Aftersales Manager at Daimler in Denmark and Germany. Löckel holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Christopher-Alexander Unkauf has spent his 17-year career at Siemens in Zug and Munich. Prior to his new role as Managing Director in Austria and Switzerland at Siemens Digital Industries Software, Christopher Unkauf was Head of Finance for the DACH region and CFO for Siemens Digital Industries Software in Austria, Switzerland and responsible for 15 other countries in Central Eastern Europe. Prior to this, he worked at Siemens in Munich in the areas of M&A Transaction Support and Internal Audit. He started his career at the Siemens Building Technologies Division in Zug, Switzerland. Unkauf holds an MBA from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
