Strabag uses the title for its new executive board seat combining IT, digitalization and innovation; the group&#8217;s announcement is headed \u201cChrista Koenen becomes CIDO\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">The executive board gains a sixth seat for technology<\/h2>\n<p>Strabag&#8217;s supervisory board appointed Christa Koenen to the executive board on 15 September 2026. She is due to take office at the start of the year, bringing the board to six members. Koenen will take charge of a dedicated portfolio for IT, digitalization and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The group reports around 89,000 employees and output of about 20 billion euros. Output here measures the value of construction work performed. The position is newly created; the three areas have not previously been combined at the top of the organization. The announcement defines the remit as group-wide IT matters, digitalization and innovation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">Why the supervisory board looked outside the company<\/h2>\n<p>Koenen joins from Schenker&#8217;s executive board, where she was responsible for IT and digitalization. Before that, she was CIO of Deutsche Bahn, leading the rail group&#8217;s IT operations. Both roles were in transport and logistics; her new position takes her into construction.<\/p>\n<p>The supervisory board cites the pace of data-driven technologies as the reason for its choice. It explicitly highlights the contribution of external expertise and its ambition to lead the industry in applying these technologies. That ambition focuses on their use within Strabag&#8217;s own business.<\/p>\n<p>In a report dated 17 September, cio.de says her contract runs until the end of 2030. Strabag has not disclosed a contract period.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#0a1e3d;color:#fff;padding:28px 32px;margin:36px 0;border-radius:8px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:2.4em;font-weight:800;line-height:1.1;color:#e8734a;\">around 20 billion euros<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:1.02em;line-height:1.55;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.92);\">Strabag&#8217;s figure for group output in its announcement of the board appointment<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:12px;font-size:0.8em;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.6);\">Strabag press release, 15 September 2026<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">What Koenen aims to connect<\/h2>\n<p>Koenen describes her task as digitally connecting the decentralized international services business, driving targeted innovation and preparing the group for the future. She says the role appeals to her because Strabag is one of Europe&#8217;s largest construction groups.<\/p>\n<p>The responsibilities and resources the new role will receive within this decentralized international business remain unclear. The supervisory board has named the areas it covers but has not detailed the resources. Those decisions will fall to the executive board, which Koenen joins in January. Until she takes office, Strabag lists her as an executive board member-designate.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<details style=\"background:#f9f9f9;padding:16px 20px;margin:12px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight:700;cursor:pointer;color:#1a1a2e;\">Is CIDO the official title?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\">Yes.
