Most recently, he served as CEO of Pixel Power and Vice President Media Technology at parent company Rohde & Schwarz. In addition to leading Qvest, Sauer will also be CEO of RSBG Information & Communication Technologies GmbH, the majority shareholder of Qvest Group within the RSBG Group.

Markus Bohni, CEO of RSBG SE, said: "We are delighted that Thorsten Sauer, with his experience and knowledge, has been appointed to take over the management of Qvest. His strategic tasks will be to further integrate the group after years of international growth and to secure profitable growth."

"Qvest has established itself as a trusted global partner for technology-driven transformation projects. Our next step is to bring the strengths of the individual group companies together even more consistently, enhance operational excellence, and further improve profitability. I am very much looking forward to shaping this journey together with the leadership teams at Qvest," said Thorsten Sauer, designated CEO of Qvest.

Sauer will be supported by long-standing managing directors Christian Boris Hönig (CFO) and Thomas Müller (CTO), forming Qvest’s future leadership team to guide the company’s strategic development.
