care4IT appoints Urs Prantl to the Board of Directors
The Zurich-based IT service provider care4IT, which specializes in managed services and flat-rate IT, recently changed its name from a limited liability company to a public limited company. The two owners, Philipp Hollerer and Matthias Naber, have now appointed Urs Prantl, a long-standing strategy mentor and growth consultant for Swiss IT SMEs, to the Board of Directors.

care4IT has been growing at double-digit rates for years. Recently, the threshold of 30 qualified employees and an annual turnover of CHF 6.5 million was passed. The "everything from a single source" offering from care4IT.ch includes IT consulting, design and planning as well as the implementation of complete IT infrastructure solutions for data, voice and video. The on-premise and cloud infrastructures put into operation are monitored in real time, maintained and replaced if necessary.
In order to manage growth more efficiently, the two owners Philipp Hollerer and Matthias Naber decided to transform their company into a public limited company and bring Urs Prantl on board as an external board member. He has been supporting the company since 2016 and has been advising the owner duo on strategic issues ever since.
Increasing professionalization on the way to Vision 2030
Numerous strategic initiatives on which the care4IT team is constantly working, including the appointment of Urs Prantl as an external member of the Board of Directors and the change of name, are consistently geared towards achieving Vision 2030. As a specialized managed service provider, care4IT has set itself the ambitious goal of managing 100,000 devices under contract by the end of the decade.
Philipp Hollerer, founder and CEO of the company, comments on the appointment of the new board member: "I have been working very successfully with Urs Prantl since 2016. He advised me professionally when I took on Matthias Naber as a partner and accompanied us prudently and SME-like in our growth from just over 5 employees at the time to our current strength. Now that we are working intensively on our growth vision, it is important to Matthias and me that we can establish a competent external view with responsibility in our company. As a proven successful growth consultant, Urs is exactly the right man for the job."
Urs Prantl is delighted with the confidence of the two owners: "The dynamic growth of care4IT has increased exponentially in recent years. There is still a long way to go before the vision is realized, which will result in further healthy growth. With over thirty years of experience, my close network in the industry and my enthusiasm for this company, I want to make a significant contribution to this. Care4IT is on the right path to proving itself as one of the leading IT service providers in the Zurich area and beyond."
