Rudolf Schmandt

As President of International Business Strategy, Rudolf Schmandt is responsible for broadening URM GROUP’s global footprint and tapping the tremendous potential of developing markets.

With a deep passion for resolving complex prob­lems, Rudi has implemented risk manage­ment systems for major German banks and is widely applauded for his abilities to trouble-shoot high-end IT systems. Major career milestones include successful execution of a 47 country EMEA IT consolidation and reorganization, which resulted in a much less complex footprint and lower costs.

His applied knowledge of automated design systems and Finite Element calc clusters earned him recogni­tion as a visionary problem solver. He has developed complex algorithms to re­solve industry simulation and calculation prob­lems and built AI and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) systems for aviation and car manufac­turing industries (Boeing, Airbus, Jaguar, BMW, Daimler, and others).
