Clarius Services GmbH is expanding its management team from 1 March 2026: Josef Blank-Beck is being appointed as an additional Managing Director. Together with Ferdinand von Hutten and Michael Sander, he will assume responsibility for the company’s strategic and technological development.

With this decision, Clarius Services underlines the central importance of technology to the company’s future. In particular, the continued development of the Clarius Solutions Suite, the AI-native platform for legal, compliance and finance operations, is a key strategic priority for the Group. Appointing Josef Blank-Beck to the management team is a consistent reflection of this development.

Josef Blank-Beck has been Chief Technology Officer and Chief Product Officer (CTO & CPO) of the Clarius Group since August 2024. In this role, he is responsible for all IT and product functions across the Group. His focus is on the strategic development of the Clarius Solutions Suite and the integration of innovative technologies to automate and scale legal and operational processes, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence.

The Clarius Solutions Suite provides the technological foundation for Clarius’s managed services. It combines AI-assisted automation, structured workflows and accountable services in an integrated system. Against this backdrop, technological leadership will now also be represented at Managing Director level.

Before joining Clarius, Josef Blank-Beck spent more than 15 years as an entrepreneur and full-stack developer. During this time, he founded and led several technology projects, including an AI-assisted collaboration platform for remote teams. His career has been shaped by combining technological innovation with practical implementation and entrepreneurial drive.

“With Josef, we are strengthening our management team specifically in technology and product development. The Clarius Solutions Suite is a central growth driver for our Group, so it is correspondingly important to represent this expertise at Managing Director level,” explains Nils Oberschelp, Co-CEO and Executive Board member of the Clarius Group.

Dr Georg Berger, CEO and Executive Board member of the Clarius Group, also welcomes the appointment: “Josef represents modern, entrepreneurial technology leadership. He combines innovative strength with operational implementation and plays a decisive role in shaping the technological future of our Group. I am particularly pleased that we have created an environment at Clarius where leadership responsibility and family life are naturally compatible.”

By expanding its management team, Clarius Services underlines its ambition to closely integrate technological excellence, platform strategy and operational implementation, and to further strengthen the Clarius Group’s capacity for innovation.
