Jochen Heybrock (54) has been managing the archive specialist's partner management since January 1, 2020. Born in Frankfurt, he comes from Siemens Industry Software GmbH, where since 2012 as channel manager he has had full responsibility for, among other things, the indirect business of the highest-grossing German sales partners. His responsibilities included annual planning and monitoring of business goals, compliance with sales targets, and coordination with the management, owners and investors of the partners.

His goals at KGS are to significantly expand indirect business and expand across Europe and in the USA in the medium term. “We want to be an absolutely reliable and calculable supplier for our sales partners. We take the term partnership seriously, because the short and long-term success for both parties should be equal and, above all, consistent,” explains Heybrock. At kgs, he will strengthen existing partnerships and lead additional new partnerships to success.

Stefan Sommer (55) has been responsible for Finance and Operations since May 1, 2020. Born in Wiesbaden and trained in Gießen, the business graduate brings broad experience from commercial financial management functions in medium-sized national and international companies to kgs. Companies with IT-related business areas shape his resume; he most recently worked at IT solution provider URANO Informationssysteme GmbH as Head of Finance and Law in Bad Kreuznach. “I see enormous growth potential while dynamically developing the current very successful customer relationships. For me, the focus is, of course, on trusting cooperation on a commercial level — which, in my opinion, is the core of a company's sustainable success story,” says Stefan Sommer.

In addition to these two areas, KGS has also strengthened other departments in recent months: Aleem Malik, Onur Gezeroglu and Eren Dagasal are new key account managers.

The development department was expanded by Maximilian Hesch and Steffen Kremsler. Philipp Geyer has a newly created position as HR Business Partner and the Professional Services and Support Team has been expanded with the addition of Sebastian Goretzka, Julian Merbach and Benedikt Strittmatter.
