Bayreuth, August 6, 2026 – Oberender AG, a top-three hospital consulting firm in the German-speaking healthcare sector, is further strengthening its strategic positioning for the future and is expanding its leadership team with an experienced manager for IT/Digital Health. By hiring Arne Lehmann, Oberender AG is pursuing the goal of actively guiding hospitals through the next phase of digitalization, IT infrastructure and IT security.
With the reorganization of our “IT/Digital Health” competence area, with Arne Lehmann as Manager, hospitals benefit directly in implementing their digital and IT strategy:
- Future-proof positioning: We support healthcare organizations from modern IT infrastructure through to change management for the workforce.
- Cybersecurity: In times of increasing security risks, we strengthen IT resilience.
- Interim management: We support leadership topics in the IT area with our experts.
- Project management: From local IT projects to connectivity topics, we organize efficient delivery on time and on budget.
Arne Lehmann: Medical practical experience combined with deep IT know-how
With more than 30 years of experience in healthcare, the graduate computer scientist combines hands-on medical experience with deep IT know-how. After starting out in nursing and subsequently studying computer science, from 2005 he helped shape the healthcare IT landscape at various software companies in Germany and Switzerland. In 2019, he returned to Germany, where he held leadership positions at Tübingen University Hospital and at the Thieme Group. Before joining Oberender AG, as CIO of the Max Grundig Clinic he was responsible for the technological direction and, among other things, led two major IT transformation projects.
Arne Lehmann, Digital Health Manager at Oberender AG: “I have experienced how much effort it takes to drive IT transformation in a hospital on your own—and how much hospitals benefit when someone knows both sides: day-to-day hospital operations and IT. I now want to bring this experience to multiple hospitals. For me, this is about a strategic realignment of IT and digitalization as a fixed component of the corporate strategy—with a clear roadmap instead of isolated solutions, pragmatic and with real benefits for clinicians and patients.”
Jan Hacker, CEO of Oberender AG, adds: “The question is no longer whether hospitals need to digitalize, but how quickly and efficiently implementation takes place. With Arne Lehmann and his team, we offer our customers the interface expertise that is crucial to the success of IT projects in day-to-day hospital operations. In doing so, we combine medical understanding with cutting-edge technological know-how to noticeably improve patient care. We are very pleased to have Arne Lehmann, a proven expert, on board.”
