Christoph Lenggenhager takes over CEO role at care4IT
Zurich-based managed service provider care4IT has appointed Christoph Lenggenhager as its new CEO. The IT expert with over 15 years of management experience took up the position on January 1, 2026. Founder Philipp Hollerer will focus more on his role as entrepreneur and board member in future.
care4IT has been growing dynamically for several years with sustained high double-digit growth rates. In the past financial year, the company exceeded the 35 qualified employees mark for the first time and generated sales of around 8 million Swiss francs. Against this backdrop, the two owners Philipp Hollerer and Matthias Naber decided to realign the operational management.
While Hollerer will increasingly focus on his role as an entrepreneur and member of the Board of Directors and Naber will continue in his role as CTO, the CEO position was deliberately filled with an external, growth-experienced leader.
Many years of IT and management experience
Christoph Lenggenhager, a proven IT and management expert, is taking over the operational management of care4IT. He brings with him over 15 years of experience from IT SMEs and the management of growing technology companies.
Lenggenhager has held management positions at Valantic, rockIT, soxes and CM Informatik, among others. Most recently, as Managing Director, he was responsible for the operational and strategic development of Oepfelbaum IT Management in Zurich, a consulting firm specializing in financial service providers. In this role, he successfully scaled the organization from around 25 to 50 employees and at the same time sharpened its structure, processes and customer focus.
Vision 2030: 100,000 IT devices under contract
Christoph Lenggenhager is taking on the role of CEO at care4IT at a time of high strategic ambition. With its Vision 2030, the company is pursuing the goal of consistently expanding its position as a managed service provider for SMEs and managing around 100,000 IT devices under contract by the end of the decade.
Christoph Lenggenhager says: «care4IT is in an excellent position professionally, organizationally and culturally. My focus is on further developing this strong foundation in a targeted manner: with clear priorities, scalable structures and an uncompromising customer focus - together with a highly committed team.»
Strategic realignment of management
Co-founder and owner Philipp Hollerer explains the decision to appoint an external CEO: «care4IT has grown strongly in recent years - at the same time, the market, technologies and customer requirements have changed fundamentally. In order to actively shape this change, we need operational management with full attention and at the same time the space to develop the company strategically. I therefore want to focus more on my role as an entrepreneur, member of the Board of Directors and driver of the long-term direction. In Christoph, we are gaining a CEO who has proven to bring together growth, organization and customer benefit and who will successfully lead care4IT and the team into the next phase of development.»
