Andreas Rudolph (born March 22, 1955 in Gummersbach ) is a German entrepreneur , handball official and former handball player.

Background and career

Andreas Rudolph played for SC Phönix Essen and OSC Rheinhausen for several years in the handball Bundesliga . At the age of 32 he had to end his active career due to an injury. In the 1978/79 season he was interim coach of the OSC Rheinhausen.

Rudolph studied mineralogy , but then devoted himself to his business idea for home health management, for which he founded HSC GmbH in 1992. Until 1998 he was the sole shareholder of the company, then the Danish company Coloplast , one of the suppliers to HSC GmbH, became a partner.

In January 2008, GHD GesundHeits GmbH Germany was founded as a new umbrella brand for several companies. In the same year, the corporation Barclays Private Equity invested in GHD with a three-digit million amount and thus took over the majority of the company's capital. At the end of 2010 a new owner came with IK Investment Partners who took over the shares in Barclays Private Equity. The company achieves a turnover of around 300 million euros with around 1,500 employees.

From 2002 to 2006 Rudolph was deputy chairman of the German Medical Technology Association .

In February 2005 he was elected president of the club at the annual general meeting of HSV Hamburg . Rudolph was also the most important patron of the handball club. In July 2011 Martin Schwalb took over his position as President of HSV Hamburg. From November 15, 2013 until his immediate resignation on May 8, 2014, he was again President of HSV Hamburg. Rudolph is said to have invested around 25 million euros in the club in around ten years. After ceasing financial support for the club in spring 2014, HSV Hamburg initially did not receive a license from the Handball Bundesliga (HBL). After the club went to the arbitration tribunal of the German Handball League, the club received its license in June 2014.

Andreas Rudolph lives in Hamburg, is married and has a daughter and a son.
