Dornbirn, September 30th, 2020 – Crate.io, developer and supplier of CrateDB, a purpose-built database optimized for use in IIoT environments, is announcing changes in its management team. With the appointment of Bernd Dorn, the founding CTO of the company returns to his former role. Moreover, Uwe Weimer will join Crate.io as Head of Sales EMEA.

Bernd Dorn acted as Crate.io’s founding CTO from 2013 to 2017 and is now returning to the company succeeding Jodok Batlogg. In 2012, Bernd led the core technical team to create the idea and the development of the original CrateDB architecture and code. In his role as CTO, Bernd will lead product management, development and product operations of the company and continue to drive Crate’s technical leadership in the enterprise-grade database market winning the hearts of developers.

“I have accompanied Crate.io since the idea was born and it’s incubation in June 2013. Not only have I been involved in the further development of the product for many years, but recently I have also been able to experience Crate.io from the customer's perspective. Now I am happy to return to Crate.io to push the core technology and cloud deployment to the next level”, says Bernd Dorn about his new role. The Austrian native has 20 years of experience in databases, scalability and distributed systems. He built his own company Lovely Systems, a technical development consulting firm where he has been CTO since 2009.

With Uwe Weimer joining Crate.io, the company was able to win an industry expert for the job as a Head of Sales EMEA. Uwe is an executive sales leader with extensive experience in Europe and in the technology space – both with startups and very large enterprises such as HP, Dell, VMware and most recently Mirantis/Docker. Uwe will be responsible for Crate.io’s direct and indirect sales teams as well as sales operations.

“My biggest strength is to build high-level customer relationships while gaining unlimited trust. I am excited about applying my deep SaaS enterprise sales skills to such an IIOT industry leader and aggressively expanding Crate.io’s sales and ecosystem”, comments Uwe Weimer.

“I am very happy to have both Bernd and Uwe join the executive leadership team at Crate.io. They will be vital to delivering the hyper growth strategy we have set out for ourselves … and most importantly contribute to innovative industry 4.0 solutions across a number of IIoT segments such as Consumer Packaged Goods for our customers. I would also like to thank Jodok Batlogg for his outstanding service and am looking forward to his continued support as a shareholder”, says Eva Schönleitner, CEO of Crate.io.
