Andreas Wesselmann orchestrated this transformation by actively involving executives and employees in shaping the future of the company and always combined a business approach with his passion for technology and innovation. “These are exactly the two areas that motivate me and, given this background, I am excited to get started at NFON and make good use of my experience,” said Andreas Wesselmann. As well as the role of CTO, at the start of the year he will also become the second Management Board member alongside Patrik Heider as CEO of NFON AG. “The task ahead of us is to align technology, products and sales,” said Patrik Heider. “Harmonising these three areas allows us to offer our European customers optimal support with the digital transformation and the intelligent use of state-of-the-art cloud communication solutions.”
