Chief Executive Officer - AEC Intelligence

The Chief Executive Officer of Nemetschek AEC Intelligence will lead the creation and scaling of a new business unit focusing on AEC Intelligence business with one leadership team, one operating model, one commercial direction, and one shared platform foundation. The role exists to turn today’s separate companies, product lines, and collaboration capabilities into a single, coherent business that owns its strategy, P&L, organization, and go-to-market approach within the Nemetschek portfolio and accelerates growth potential of the Planning & Design Division. 

The CEO will define the strategic direction of Nemetschek AEC Intelligence translating the combined strengths of the unit into a clear market role and value proposition across planning data, model quality, and project collaboration workflows.  This includes building a unified leadership team, establishing end-to-end accountability across product, technology, commercial and customer functions, and positioning the business to lead Nemetschek into a more AI-enabled and agentic future. The role is responsible for safeguarding current business performance while leading a phased integration of organizations and offerings into one business with clearer focus, less duplication, and faster decision-making. Over time, the CEO will evolve Nemetschek AEC Intelligence collaboration from a collection of brands and integrations into a scalable, platform-based business with its own identity, growth path, and contribution to Nemetschek’s wider design and collaboration strategy.
