Gerhard Weiß has been a member of the managing board of Nemetschek AG since 1998, initially as the member of the board responsible for finances and administration, and has been CEO since 2002. Gerhard Weiß started working for Nemetschek in 1995. He contributed significantly to the management of the IPO in 1999 and the development of the company to the leading provider for information technology for the design, construction and management of buildings and real estate in Europe. Weiß introduced a systematic restructuring program in the company in 2001 - 2003, in particular. Through company mergers and the implementation of effective, new organizational structures, he ensured a return to the group's old earning power. In the 2005 financial year, the group paid out a dividend for the first time since it went public in 1999. In 2005, Nemetschek achieved the best net result in the company's history with net income of 11.7 million euros. This was also rewarded on the stock exchange: With a rise of around 50 % in the past 12 months, the Nemetschek share is one of the most successful in Frankfurt, and is currently valued at around 21 euros.

Ernst Homolka (39), Director of Finances and Administration at Nemetschek, has been appointed Chief Financial Officer by the supervisory board, as of January 1, 2007. He will be responsible for the areas of financials, HR, legal, IT, operations, merger & acquisitions and investor relations, and will take on the task of company spokesman. Ernst Homolka has been at Nemetschek AG since 1999. From 1990 - 1994, he worked in various commercial positions at the Hilton International chain of hotels. His career then took him to Kempinski AG, where - as authorized signatory - he was responsible for the commercial management of the "Vier Jahreszeiten" hotel in Munich and group accounting for Kempinski AG.
