ABOUT MARC SCHWERDTFEGER
I am a senior technology and innovation executive with extensive experience leading enterprise transformation, cloud adoption, and digital product innovation across industries including energy, healthcare, finance, and mobility. Currently, as Head of Technology at Techem Group & Techem X, I drive the company’s digital transformation and platform strategy. My focus areas include: • Launching Techem’s digital incubator (Techem X) and scaling agile, lean startup, and design sprint methodologies beyond the incubator to shape a company-wide culture of innovation and faster delivery. • Driving the evolution of Techem’s technology landscape into a modern, cloud-native, API-first architecture, enabling faster delivery, greater scalability, and improved customer experience. • Overseeing enterprise architecture globally, shaping a unified digital platform strategy, and working closely with executive leadership to align IT with business priorities. • Shaping Techem’s AI strategy by introducing secure, governed AI capabilities for the wider organization, including hackathons, LLM-based solutions, and automation tools — enabling teams to safely leverage AI for greater efficiency, accuracy, and innovation. • Strengthening digital talent capabilities, including new nearshore hub to attract top engineering talent. Earlier in my career, I was a Senior Manager at Deloitte Digital, advising Fortune 500 and DAX clients on digital transformation and launching scalable digital platforms, and at BBDO / Interone (Asia), where I directed the technical delivery of large-scale digital campaigns for BMW and MINI. This experience in a leading creative agency sharpened my ability to connect technology execution with customer experience, launching products reaching millions of customers in China and Korea. With a background in engineering, certifications in AWS and agile leadership, and extensive international project experience (US, China, Singapore, Dubai, UK, France), I combine technical depth, consulting expertise, and transformation leadership.
