Energy system electronics expert, Hartmut Hofmann (54), has assumed the role as director of CCH production, a new department at the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH).
Hofmann (pictured) will report to the new COO at CCH, Heike Mahmoud, acting as her deputy from 1 March – which is when he celebrates his 25-year anniversary at Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH (HMC).
“Over the course of these years he has overseen more than 5,000 events,” said Bernd Aufderheide, president and CEO of HMC.
The newly created production unit covers both the commercial and organisational responsibilities associated with project management, and the related technical aspects. In addition, his department is in charge of interdisciplinary activities, primarily acting as an interface between HMC and the owners of the CCH; and will be responsible for logistics and non-technical services between events.
Hofmann studied Media Operations Engineering before joining the CCH team in 1994 as head of Imaging and Acoustics Services. He has held a number of other positions since. Hofmann is also an instructor at various educational institutes, including Fresenius Hochschule.
