About Christoph Schacher
Christoph is Chief Information Security Officer at Wienerberger, where he helps the company stay on top of its cyber risks and secure its digitalisation projects. He took on the role in 2024, after more than six years as Head of Information Security.
He has spent almost 25 years at Wienerberger, building a career that spans IT strategy, operations and security. Before moving into information security, he was Head of IT Strategy and Controlling, Head of IT Architecture and Organisation, and Head of Process Development, where his work included strategic enterprise content management. He started out in corporate finance and new media, leading the company’s new media team in the early 2000s.
That background in management, IT controlling and budgeting, combined with skills in data visualisation, shapes how he works today: giving top management understandable decision criteria to secure their digitalisation initiatives. He also brings a strong focus on people, after a three-year education in continuum-based leadership with Prof. Dr. Manfred Winterheller. Christoph holds a Master’s degree in Commerce and Economics from WU, the Vienna University of Economics and Business.
