Following several management positions at HP, she took over as Vice President for Strategy and Planning at HP’s head office in Palo Alto in 2012. A year later, the mother of three headed an international team comprised of representatives from all divisions and global functions in the framework of a transformation programme at HP. From 2009 to 2016, Elke Reichart was a member of the Supervisory Board of HP Deutschland. After returning from California in 2015, she worked as a business consultant for CureVac AG, a biotech company in her home town of Tübingen. In December 2017, she was appointed a member of the Supervisory Board of Bechtle AG.

“I am delighted that Elke Reichart, an IT manager with extensive international experience, is joining TUI Group. She will play a key role in promoting the consistent and successful implementation of our IT and digitalisation strategy”, said Frank Rosenberger, TUI Group Executive Board member in charge of IT and Future Markets.
