Ulrich Meister (Manager)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Meister (born January 3, 1960 ) is a German manager . Until June 28, 2018 he was managing director of BWI GmbH .

Master studied mathematics and economics . From 1987 he worked at Dresdner Bank AG , from 1988 to 1994 at BHF-Bank and until 1997 at Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen , most recently as Head of IT Services and Application Development . From 1998 Meister was at Deutsche Bank AG , most recently as CIO Corporate Center and CIO Retail & Private Banking.

In 2005, Meister switched to Telekom . There he was, among other things, head of the system integration department at the Telekom subsidiary T-Systems . In this position he accompanied the globalization of the business area, the introduction of a global sourcing model and the introduction of products such as De-Mail . In 2011 he became a member of the executive board. In 2013, Meister left Telekom and became Chief Executive Officer of Wipro Technologies in continental Europe and Africa, which offers IT consulting and system integration services. Here he was responsible for the strategy of the individual markets, particularly with regard to growth and outsourcing.

In May 2016, Meister was appointed to the management of BWI Informationstechnik GmbH, the IT service provider for the German Armed Forces , by the Ministry of Defense . The associated change in management was carried out in preparation for the transition from BWI to the federal in-house company at the end of 2016. His first tasks included the merger of BWI Systeme GmbH with BWI Informationstechnik GmbH as well as the IT consolidation of the federal government, in which the BWI takes on initial services for federal departments in addition to its fields of activity for the Bundeswehr.

On June 28, 2018, Meister was released from his position. Before that, the supervisory board of BWI GmbH had come to the conclusion that among other things, “selected strategic positions” of the owner of the federal government and the supervisory board on the one hand and those of the managing director and CEO, Ulrich Meister, on the other, had diverged. The background to this assessment was the illegal direct award of two consulting contracts to the management consultancy McKinsey .

From September 2019 to March 2020, Meister was head of IT for the private customer business at Deutsche Bank.
