Armin Hoff brings an impressive track record in the GeoIT industry, having held key international management and sales positions at Intergraph and later HxGN Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial GmbH since 2001. His most recent role was as the Country Manager for Government, Defence & Transportation for Germany and Austria at Hexagon. Armin's journey began with a Geography degree from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, laying the foundation for his remarkable career in the Geo-Business. His profound industry knowledge and strategic insights will undoubtedly drive the GEOSYSTEMS GmbH forward.

Irmgard Runkel, our longstanding Managing Director, will continue to play a pivotal role within the company, steering the ship alongside Armin Hoff. With 30 years of dedicated service to GEOSYSTEMS GmbH and 16 years in the management team, she has been instrumental in transforming our company from a pure software distributor to an agile service and solution provider in the realm of Geo-information technology, Geo-data analysis, and management. Since 2022, as a 100% subsidiary of the German space company OHB, we have further expanded into Earth observation and downstream services, becoming an integral part of OHB Digital.

"I can't think of a better counterpart than Armin Hoff, whom I've known for many years through our partnership with Hexagon," says Irmgard Runkel. "His deep understanding of our industry, technical intricacies, and innovative spirit are precisely what we need for GEOSYSTEMS GmbH's future."

Armin Hoff is enthusiastic about his new role, stating, "It's an honor to join the GEOSYSTEMS team, a company known for its quality, expertise, and customer focus. I look forward to working with Mrs. Runkel and the entire team to strengthen our position as a leading GeoIT solutions provider. We will increasingly harness the synergies that exist with OHB Digital, as their satellite technology and downstream services perfectly complement our portfolio."

With this dynamic duo at the helm, GEOSYSTEMS GmbH is confident that their combined leadership, experience, passion, and innovative ideas will successfully drive the company's growth strategy forward.
