Jens Minneker has been the new Chief Information Officer at Alliance Healthcare (AHD) and Gehe Pharma Handel GmbH since October 1st and is therefore in charge of overall IT management. At the same time he is a member of the management board. He draws on decades of experience in the areas of logistics, CRM, marketing and sales. His focus was always on market-oriented solutions and process optimization.

“We clearly see the fundamental role IT not only plays for us as a company, but also plays in the issues surrounding digitalization at local pharmacies,” says Aline Seifert, Chairwoman of the Management Board at Alliance Healthcare Germany and Managing Director at Gehe, firmly. “Creating the position of CIO was an important and logical step. I am pleased to welcome Jens Minneker, a proven IT and logistics expert, who will now firmly anchor this important area in the company,” says Aline Seifert.

With almost 30 years of experience, Jens Minneker has recently been primarily active in strategy. Previously, he was responsible for IT at DPD Deutschland GmbH as Chief Information Officer for over two years. His duties as Director IT at GLS IT Services GmbH, and his eight years at Deutsche Post DHL - including as Division Head IT Systems Marketing & Sales - make him a proven expert in the logistics industry.

“There are major challenges ahead in the wholesale and pharmacy market, especially in the area of digitalization. I am looking forward to contributing my experience and knowledge in order to effectively use the opportunities that are available to us as a wholesaler and the local pharmacy,” says Jens Minneker.
