To this day, it forms the backbone for our activities and is the hub for the fulfilment of projects in Europe and other major international projects. For Jawid and Konstantin, this step marks another chapter in their personal ‘Qvest success story’, which makes me particularly happy for them. It is also very positive for us because we can assign experienced managers from our company to these important key positions. Our global partners and customers will benefit from Jawid and Konstantin’s hands-on expertise and years of experience in technology transformation in many ways.”The management of the parent Qvest corporate group with its nearly 1,000 employees worldwide will remain the same.
