Max Wieberneit leads picturemaxx AG into the future
As of May 1, 2024, Max Wieberneit (55) became CEO of picturemaxx AG, a market-leading software and technology company headquartered in Munich. He takes over from Thomas Mäling, who has managed the company on an interim basis and will continue to be available as a consultant.
„With Max Wieberneit, we have found our preferred candidate to whom we can entrust the further development and strategic repositioning of the company,“
explains Bernd Michael Czichon, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of picturemaxx AG. Max Wieberneit is looking forward to this exciting new position in the media industry:
„During my time at a picture agency, I got to know picturemaxx as an innovative technology company and a pioneer of its kind. Together with the entire team I would like to build on this unique success story in traditional and new markets. Comprehensive transformation, customer focus and further development against the background of AI are the topics that we need to rethink and develop.”
