Biography
Karin Schick inherited a stake in Bechtle AG from her father, Gerhard, who co-founded the IT company in Heilbronn, Germany in 1983.
Bechtle covers the IT landscape, ranging from expert strategy advice to managed services that can take over complete operation of a company's systems.
The company has more than 12,000 employees and revenues exceeding $6.5 billion.
Bechtle's strong growth in the IT space has been fueled in part through an aggressive M&A strategy (more than 100 acquisitions since 1993).

Karin Schick stepped down from Bechtle's advisory board in 2017 to focus on social projects through the Schick family foundation.
In 2012, her family founded the Community Knowledge Center (CKC) in Tanzania to provide internet access and computer courses to people of all ages.
