In a strategic move to adapt to rapidly changing customer requirements for technological solutions, Lenovo has appointed Andreas Thomasch as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the Germany and Austria region (GAT) effective July 1, 2025.

Thomasch, who reports directly to Oliver Rootsey, Executive Director and General Manager GAT at Lenovo, brings over 25 years of experience in leadership positions at IBM and Lenovo. His most recent role at Lenovo was leading the High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) business in various large European markets.

Thomasch's extensive technical expertise in AI, HPC, and digital transformation, as well as his significant contributions to the growth of the HPC and AI business, make him the ideal candidate for this strategic position. His focus at Lenovo remains on AI, sustainability, and cloud infrastructure.

His responsibilities include driving business development, long-term planning with key customers, and innovation projects with partners. The CTO organization, led by Thomasch, aims to be a driving force from technological concept to practical integration.

Thomasch's task is to translate technical innovations into concrete solutions that support companies in their digital transformation. He will also build and lead successful technical teams to help Lenovo expand and strengthen its technical sales by early 2026.

Oliver Rootsey believes that Thomasch's appointment will help Lenovo react more dynamically to these changing requirements. Thomasch has established collaborations with companies and research institutions, which will be instrumental in achieving this goal.

The CTO organization's approach is to react dynamically to the changing requirements for technological solutions from customers. Thomasch's work at Lenovo will involve integrating various areas of expertise, including AI, sustainable and energy-efficient solutions, and sovereign cloud infrastructure.

Thomasch's goal is to align technology with the benefits and business objectives of Lenovo's customers. His contributions have already significantly boosted growth in the HPC and AI business, as reported from Stuttgart. With Thomasch at the helm, Lenovo is poised to continue its journey towards technological innovation and customer-centric solutions.
