GfKM – CMII Europe GmbH – was established in 1999 by Guido Weischedel (Dipl.-Ing) and Thomas Schwartz (Dipl.-Ing). The company directors have known each other since their university days in Esslingen and as company directors of ESM Software GmbH, established in 1987.

Thomas Schwartz (born 1956) has worked in Sales and Marketing since high school graduation. As a former Musician he understands the need to investigate the needs of the customer and string together the optimal solution. His focus today is on the Sales and Marketing of CMII courses and services in the subject area of Configuration Management. Among his hobbies are his family and reading, as his music career has ended due to lack of time.

Guido Weischedel (born 1959) worked in Software and Hardware Engineering after the end of his studies. He was also a musician for many years and is well able to think himself into the problem area and therefore very quickly find the most suitable solution.

His hobbies include his family, digital photography, digital video, cooking and BBQs, as well as flying as a private pilot.
