Biography

  • Karin Schick inherited a stake in Bechtle AG from her father, Gerhard, who co-founded the IT company in Heilbronn, Germany in 1983.
  • Bechtle covers the IT landscape, ranging from expert strategy advice to managed services that can take over complete operation of a company's systems.
  • The company has more than 12,000 employees and revenues exceeding $6.5 billion.
  • Bechtle's strong growth in the IT space has been fueled in part through an aggressive M&A strategy (more than 100 acquisitions since 1993).
  • Karin Schick stepped down from Bechtle's advisory board in 2017 to focus on social projects through the Schick family foundation.
  • In 2012, her family founded the Community Knowledge Center (CKC) in Tanzania to provide internet access and computer courses to people of all ages.
