Nicolas Krämer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicolas Krämer (born June 8, 1974 in Frankfurt am Main ) is a German author and hospital manager. He gained national fame when the Lukaskrankenhaus Neuss was the victim of a "cyber attack" with attempted blackmail in 2016 .

From July 2014 to April 2020 he was managing director of the Rheinland Clinic (until December 2018 Städtische Kliniken Neuss - Lukaskrankenhaus - GmbH). The separation took place amicably through a termination agreement. Under Krämer's leadership, the Lukaskrankenhaus had become the best employer among all municipal clinics in Germany.

Life

Krämer studied and obtained his doctorate at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen . From 2002 to 2009 he worked in an international management consultancy. From 2009 to 2012 he was in charge of finance and accounting at the Kaiserswerther Diakonie in Düsseldorf, and from 2012 to 2014 he was director of the Marienkrankenhaus Soest. As an author, he has written over 50 articles on hospital management in specialist books and specialist journals. He received special attention through his crisis management in a "cyber attack". The Lukaskrankenhaus Neuss was the victim of an attempt at extortion in 2016. A Trojan horse paralyzed the hospital's computer system. So-called ransomware was introduced via a mail server. It was a new type of malware that constantly changed its signature. Almost 30 other clinics in North Rhine-Westphalia were affected.

In an interview with the "Düsseldorf holds together" initiative on March 20, 2020, Krämer said how the Rhineland Clinic is positioning itself in the corona crisis. After controversial statements about female nurses, he was initially on leave, and a termination agreement was signed on April 9th. The separation created a need for political discussion.
