Henning Schneider took over management of the Information Technology division in the Asklepios Group on October 1, 2016. In the role of Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the clinic group, he succeeds Martin Stein, who left the company at his own request to work as commercial managing director of a maximum care provider in the Middle Rhine region.

Schneider is moving to Asklepios from the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). At the UKE, he has headed the information technology division as CIO since 2012. Since 2008, he has been responsible for the medical IT systems and the implementation of the electronic patient file.

Born in Hamburg, Schneider studied computer science at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH) and business administration at the University of Hamburg and then worked as sales manager in Germany for the Norwegian company Ibas, which specializes in data recovery. In 2000, he moved to Siemens Business Services (SBS), where he was initially responsible for the area of eBanking systems as a senior consultant.

From 2003 to 2008, Schneider was program manager for major strategic projects in the eHealth area of the Siemens Healthcare division, ensuring the improvement of internal clinical processes and improved communication between hospitals. During this time, he also founded the Imaging Science Institute as a joint research laboratory between Siemens and the Erlangen University Hospital to further develop medical IT systems.

The 43-year-old was awarded the “CIO of the Year” award in the “Innovation” category by CIO magazine and Computerwoche in 2015. At Asklepios, Schneider is expected to drive digitalization and improve structures and clinical processes. Henning Schneider is married and has three children.
